I have always taken, "thou shall not eat from..." in Gen. 2 to be A "giving of the law", and the Law on Sinai is a recapitulation of this law. Following my earlier posts on Leviticus, the Exodus, including the Law, is a restoration to the Garden. That is why Moses says, I set before you life and death...the Law is like the tree of life and good and evil. Also, the sacrifices, etc., throughout Genesis indicates a law, as does Paul's argument in Romans 1 re: Gentile. The giving of the is an issue of, whose voice will you listen to? The woman listened to the serpent's and the man to the woman's, so I take the judgments of Gen 3 to be a direct response by God to Adam's transgression. Am I way off?

I mean to say that God did not curse the ground in judgement. I say this because in Romans 5:13 it says that before the Law, sin was not imputed against man. I take that to mean the Law given to Moses. So did God judge sin without imputing against man? Or am I reading this wrong? What are your thoughts?
