Eve
Eve was the first woman, formed by God as a companion for Adam and called “the mother of all the living.”
Eve is introduced as God’s answer to the one thing “not good” in a perfect creation: that the man was alone. Formed from Adam’s side, she is his equal and partner, sharing his calling to fill and steward the earth.
Tempted by the serpent, Eve takes and eats the forbidden fruit and gives some to Adam. The choice brings guilt, pain, and exile — yet even in judgment God speaks a first promise of hope, that her offspring would one day crush the serpent.
Adam names her Eve, “because she would become the mother of all the living.” She is remembered both for the fall and for that thread of promise carried forward through her children.
