Eve חַוָּה

Eve was the first woman, created by God as a companion for Adam (Gen.2.22). She was formed from one of Adam's ribs and was named "Eve" because she would become the mother of all living (Gen.3.20). Eve was tempted by the serpent to eat the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which God had forbidden (Gen.3.1-6). She ate the fruit and gave some to Adam, resulting in their disobedience and the introduction of sin into the world (Gen.3.6-7). As a consequence, Eve experienced pain in childbirth and a desire for her husband, while Adam had to labor to provide for them (Gen.3.16-19). Despite this, Eve is recognized as the mother of the human race (Gen.4.1). Paul references Eve's deception as a warning against false teachers (2Co.11.3) and notes that Adam was created first, then Eve (1Ti.2.13).
