Paul doesn’t just call Adam’s sin as “the offense of Adam” but he also says that it is the “transgression of the one”:

Romans 5:15 But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.

So there is a transgression of the “one” (just one) and because of this transgression of the “one” there is a judgment that came about.

Romans 5:16 The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification.

So from “the one” came “one” transgression and this “one” transgression resulted in “condemnation”. Where will we find this information in the Old Testament? What does the Scripture say?
