110 Torah Book & Portion, Book of Genesis, Bereishit (Genesis 1:1-6:8), Source Book Keys, AMEMEI GENESIS | 3:13 duped — GEN395 Claiming that one was only following order... GEN395 Claiming that one was only following orders or that it is the inciter’s fault as Eve did is not deemed an adequate defense. The fact is that Eve was still punished Genesis 14-15, demonstrating the doctrine that “there is no agency for sin.” In addition, we see that both the inciter and the actual sinner are punished for the act, as both Eve and the serpent received retribution. According to numerous opinions, this, the serpent’s action, is a form of inciting to worship idols since the serpent induced Eve to rebel against God.
