Eve was deceived/beguiled/fooled in the garden by the adversary.
Adam was not deceived but ate anyway.
Both suffered consequences, yet both were given grace and covering by God, even as He kicked them out of the Garden.
There is a whole matter of intentional vs unintentional sin that is covered in Exodus and Numbers...The Levitical priesthood system could only ever deal with the UNintentional kind. Yeshua Messiah, who was in the Order of Melchizidek, is able to forgive both intentional and unintentional sin, with genuine repentance.
I tend to think of intentional sin as rebellion, the kind where you KNOW you shouldn't do something and do it anyway.
See 1 John 1: 8-9
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
how about this for a comparison?
