you must also keep in mind that the dialogue between the serpent and the women is the context. So when i talk about omission of ‘all’ and ‘yhwh’, and the adding of ‘touching it’, this is because the woman is being deceived through the conversation.
She is being deceived into believing that God is stingy, she is being deceived into thinking that God is harsh. This is the context. PLease remember that. It seems that your comments are not really engaging with the text and context, but more with how i worded things in my answer.

However i do want to re-state, that that does not therefore exclude Eve from guilt. She is equally guilty of abandoning God’s prohibition. We know this because of what happens when she eats- the same as the man, death!
