One thought:

The 'Ten Commandments' and the rest of 'The Law' were received by Moses in 1513 BCE (Exodus 24:12), which was approximately 2,500 years after Adam sinned.(Romans 5:14)

Another Thought:

Some believe Adam was created in 4004 BC or 1 AM (anno mundus or year of the world) and that the Law was codified to Moses in 1446 BC making it about 2558 years less the time God gave Adam and Eve to fully learn the Law - a complete 19 year Cycle (2537 AM) that was used by the Hebrew and Babylonians for their calendars.

God's Law is spiritual and eternal. Its primary purpose is to define sin for mankind. Before the Law was codified (put in written form) it was transmitted quite accurately via oral communications and daily life within the ever growing communities. Surely God would not of banished Adam and Eve without their knowing and understanding that they broke God's Law or sinned. Consider their first child Cain:

Genesis 4:7New King James Version (NKJV)

7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it."

Because the Israelites where slaves for so long in Egypt, when God delivered them in circa 1446 BC, He gave His Law to Moses on the tablets which the Children of Israel accepted and entered into the covenant with God promising to obey God's Law (Deuteronomy 5:27).
