[Avodah] Chumash Question

[Yitzchok Zirkind]

The Abarbnel asks the question (chapter 2 question 37),  his answer (chapter
3 # 16) includes what RRW answered, since Hashem did not speak to her, but
he adds also that her curse was as she was Etzem Meiatzomai.

v'Al pi halacha (vAl Derech HaTzachus), Al Tarbeh Sicha Im Ha'isha.

Also by saying to the Nachash Ki Osisa Zos which refers to him being Meisis
the women, there was no need to repeat to the women that she did something
wrong, and in fact she admitted it "hanachas Hishiani, and hence also we
don't remind a Baal Tshuvah Maasuv Harishonim even though the punishment was
needed to be said, whereas Adam said it wasn't his fault.
