Bible | Eve life; living, the name given by Adam to his wife (Gen. 3:20; 4:1). The account of her creation is given in Gen. 2:21, 22. The Creator, by declaring that it was not good for man to be alone, and by creating for him a suitable companion, gave sanction to monogamy. The commentator Matthew Henry says: "This companion was taken from his side to signify that she was to be dear unto him as his own flesh. Not from his head, lest she should rule over him; nor from his feet, lest he should tyrannize over her; but from his side, to denote that species of equality which is to subsist in the marriage state." And again, "That wife that is of God's making by special grace, and of God's bringing by special providence, is likely to prove a helpmeet to her husband." Through the subtle temptation of the serpent she violated the commandment of God by taking of the forbidden fruit, which she gave also unto her husband (1 Tim. 2:13-15; 2 Cor. 11:3). When she gave birth to her first son, she said, "I have gotten a man from the Lord" (R.V., "I have gotten a man with the help of the Lord," Gen. 4:1). Thus she welcomed Cain, as some think, as if he had been the Promised One the "Seed of the woman." Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary. |

Dream Interpretation | To dream of this ancient character, denotes your hesitancy to accept this ancient story as authentic, and you may encounter opposition in business and social circles because of this doubt. For a young woman to dream that she impersonates Eve, warns her to be careful. She may be wiser than her ancient relative, but the Evil One still has powerful agents in the disguise of a handsome man. Keep your eye on innocent Eve, young man. That apple tree still bears fruit, and you may be persuaded, unwittingly, to share the wealth of its products. Source: Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted .... |

According to the Book of Genesis of the Bible, Adam was the first man created by God.
His mate was Eve, who was either created from his rib (Gen. 2.21-22), or created at the same time (Gen. 1.27) as Adam, depending on which part of Genesis is read and how it is interpreted. Depending on which tradition is believed, she may or may not have been the first woman or Adam's first wife.
"God created man [Heb., Adam] in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." According to this account, Adam was absolutely the first man whom God created. He was formed out of the dust of the earth (hence his name, which means "red earth"), and God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and gave him dominion over all the lower creatures (Gen. 1:26; 2:7).
The Garden of Eden (Edinu in Sumerian) story recounts how God created Adam and Eve, gave them the commandment not to eat of the tree of knowledge, and expelled them from the garden after they disobeyed Him and ate the fruit. Christians interpret this story as the basis of the idea of original sin.
The story is in Genesis, chapters 2 and 3.
After his creation, Adam was placed in the Garden of Eden to cultivate it, and to enjoy its fruits under this one prohibition: "Of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."
The first recorded act of Adam was his giving names to the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, which God brought to him for this end. Thereafter the Lord caused a deep sleep to fall upon him, and while in an unconscious state took one of his ribs, and closed up his flesh again; and of this rib he made a woman, whom he presented to him when he awoke. Adam received her as his wife, and said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man." He called her Eve, because she was the mother of all living. Being induced by the tempter in the form of a serpent to eat the forbidden fruit, Eve persuaded Adam, and he also did eat. Until then they were nude, but now they no longer felt comfortable like that and made aprons of fig leaves. They were expelled from Eden, and at the east of the garden God placed a flame, which turned every way, to prevent access to the tree of life (Gen. 3). Eastern Orthodox tradition says that from the time Jesus was born, the flaming sword was removed from the Garden of Eden, making it possible for humanity to re-enter Paradise.
How long they were in Paradise is matter of mere conjecture. Shortly after their expulsion Eve brought forth her first-born, and called him Cain. Although we have the names of only three of Adam's sons, viz., Cain, Abel, and Seth, yet it is obvious that he had several sons and daughters (Gen. 5:4). According to the text, he died aged 930 years.
Most interpretations of the Bible hold that Adam and Eve were the progenitors of the whole human race. Evidences of varied kinds are abundant in proving the unity of the human race.
According to some traditions, Adam had an earlier mate, Lilith.
A tradition not found in the Bible text holds that the forbidden fruit was an apple.
Some Biblical scholars have placed the Garden of Eden in what is now the Persian Gulf [1]. Others have suggested a location in Anatolia. Biblical geography had four rivers flowing from it: Tigris, Euphrates, Pishon and Gihon.
Islamic traditions hold that Adam's Peak in Sri Lanka has an enormous footprint of Adam.
Art
Early Renaissance artists used the theme of Adam and Eve as a way to represent female and male nudes in a then morally acceptable way. Sometimes a fig leaf covered their genitals.

Eve (born Eve Jihan Jeffers on November 10, 1978 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American rapper associatec with the Ruff Ryders crew. She adopted the name Gangsta in high school as part of an all-female group called EDGP (pronounced Egypt) and eventually went solo as Eve of Destruction. After a period of working as a stripper, Eve returned to hip hop at the encouragement of pop superstar Mase; she recorded "Eve of Destruction", which appeared on the soundtrack to Bulworth in 1998 (see 1998 in music). Her label, Aftermath Records, found itself in financial trouble and Eve was soon without a record contract. She had, however, befriended DMX and appeared on It's Dark and Hell Is Hot and other Ruff Ryders' compilations. Her single "What Ya Want" soon became a hit, and she collaborated with The Roots and Blackstreet and Janet Jackson, further expanding her fanbase. Her debut was Let There Be Eve...Ruff Ryders First Lady (1999, 1999 in music) and the album was an unprecedented success, the first rap album by a woman to enter the American charts at #1. The follow-up, Scorpion, was released in 2001 (see 2001 in music) to good reviewes, but the second single, "Let Me Blow Ya Mind" (with Gwen Stefani of No Doubt) became a pop success. The song won a Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration and Scorpion went platinum. Eve then appeared in XXX with Vin Diesel and in Barbershop with Ice Cube, released Eve-Olution in 2002 (see 2002 in music). "Gangsta Lovin'", with Alicia Keys, then became another pop hit and Even closed out 2003 (see 2003 in music) by signing to UPN for a television show about a fashion designer.Source: adapted by the editor from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia under a copyleft GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) from the article "Eve (rapper)."

Critical Review
See also: 2003 in television
- In their new season overview, under the "What's Bad" category, TV Guide (Canada) said "The acting, the scripts, the timing, the plot and the characters." Eve's "stunning looks almost make up for everything that's wrong with the show." The "Bottom Line" was that it was "[a] confused, and confusing show on the eve of destruction."
