“You speculation is that she was kicked out even though the text doesn’t say that”

Actually as I said grammatically ‘ha’adam’ can be used to refer to more than one person. Therefore this is scriptural proof for why she left. She is included in ‘ha’adam’.

“I would think that my speculation has at least some textual evidence while there is no evidence from the text that she was kicked out. It is merely your own speculation.”

This is unfortunately not the case. Your ‘proof’ is wrong. You have not exegetically understood what 3:16 means. Therefore your view is purely speculative. Mine however is grammatically supported by ‘ha’adam’ But I do agree that it does not explicitly say “the woman was banished’
