26. When the serpent tempted Eve, and she ate of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, where was Adam?
From Quiz Bible Miscellany II
Answer:
Adam was with Eve
In many translations, including the NIV which I used while creating this quiz, Genesis 3:6 says: "When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it."
Some translations are ambiguous, but ever since Milton published "Paradise Lost", in which the idea that Adam was tending another part of the Garden was important both theologically and dramatically, most people have the impression that Adam was not at the tree.
