Eve

Eve is a figure in the Abrahamic religions who, according to the biblical Book of Genesis, was the first woman God created. She is known for being the wife of Adam, the first man, and the mother of Cain, Abel, and Seth. The name "Eve" is derived from the Latin word "Eva," which in turn comes from the Hebrew name "חַוָּה" (Chavah), meaning "life" or "living one." In Arabic, she is known as "حَوَّاء" (Hawwa). Eve's story is central to the narrative of the Fall of Man, where she and Adam are expelled from the Garden of Eden after eating the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. This event is pivotal in Abrahamic theology, as it introduces the concepts of original sin and the loss of innocence. The story of Eve has been interpreted and reimagined in various cultural, literary, and artistic contexts throughout history.
