Gave

3:12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. 

On the one hand, this is passing blame.  He had the choice to eat or not.  On the other hand, it's strictly honest, at least in the sense of being consistent with what we were told before.

It's interesting that he seems to think of his wife as a literal gift from God.

I have to note that Adam's dialogue, aside from the convoluted sentence structures which I'll attribute to the author and translator, reads like a guileless child.
