A DEVOTIONAL ANSWER FROM A BELIEVER WHO REPEATS WHAT HE HAS BEEN TOLD:

I assume you mean Genesis chapter 3 verse 3. This is where Eve is speaking to Satan and telling him what God said, although she changes a few important things. Either way, God's command was to Adam and Eve both making "you" plural. Also, many Bible scholars believe Adam was standing right there as she was being tempted by Satan. This makes him equally as guilty and even more so because he was not looking out for Eve as the man is supposed to do.

ANSWER FROM A HISTORICAL POINT OF VIEW:

Devotional & apologetically answers do not answer any questions! The answer only re-states what the author was & has been told! The text tells a story, which was acted out on a stage, in a setting much like Greek Tragedies, Christian Passion Plays, or American Indian ceremonial gatherings! Israelis, after all, were nomadic Semitic tribes just like the North American Indians. Read Genesis like a play and see how different it reads and sounds very differently. Devotional reading and interpretations are apologetic & designed to cover up the story's hypostasis. Believer are afraid to admit that the story does not make sense if taken to be a historical account.
