TL,

Seems more reasonable since God named THEM Adham/Human, that since there were not any ‘first’ names given yet, that God would just call out Human (which included a plural) and wait for them to answer. And really there are no qualifications that God was speaking to ONLY the man. Why would God do that since both disobeyed Him. ??? I don’t know. This makes sense to me.

Check out the grammar and you will see that “you” is singular. When Eve quotes God in chapter 3 saying that “You are not to eat…” the “you” there is plural. But God doesn’t call out to “you” plural, but “you” singular. Why is that? Because God knows that they have sinned and He is calling out to the watchman on the wall first. Where is the Watchman? Hiding!!! What a shame. God deals with the most responsible one first since the Watchman has failed in his watch.
