Eve
Role: first woman · First appears: Genesis 3
In Genesis 3, Eve, the first woman, received God’s command not to eat or touch the fruit of the tree in the midst of the garden. serpent tempted her by denying that eating it would bring death: “And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die.” Eve ate the fruit and gave it to Adam, who also ate; when questioned by God, she said that serpent had beguiled her. God established enmity between Eve and serpent, judged her with painful childbirth and subordination to Adam, and clothed her and Adam with coats of skins.
Still in Genesis 3, Adam called his wife Eve because she was the mother of all living. In Genesis 4, Eve became the parent of Cain, then Abel, and later bore Seth as another seed in place of Abel, whom Cain slew.
