We could also say that Adam was confused about guarding the garden. There is a lot of things we could say, but the question is, what can we prove from the context?

I don’t think that Adam was confused about the prohibition.  Neither was Eve.  Adam knew the truth and so did Eve.  That is until she was deceived.  Then she no longer believed the truth.  We know this because this is what the bible says.  Adam was not deceived but Eve was.  She was deceived by the serpent, not by her own inability to understand the command.

There is so much more to consider.  I will work on the next article and if the grandkids give me a break, I will try to get it up by the end of the weekend.
