First of all, Eve is mentioned by name twice, once each in Chapters 3 and 4. Now why she is mentioned by name only twice is a mystery but she figures quite prominently throughout the first 4 chapters, but not by name. One has to remember that this book was written probably by Moses and most likely several hundred, maybe even a thousand years after these events happened. And then when you're talking about the only two humans on the planet, there's not much need for designating names. But just to be fair, whenever the Lord refers to Adam, most of the time, we can infer he's talking about both of them as they "are one flesh." I've already dealt with this subject to some small degree. The Bible in some ways does appear to place quite a bit more emphasis on the male role over that of the women in the Bible but that just reflects the order of God's universe. It doesn't have to do with anything like superiority of one over the other; it's God's design. I hope this helps. --Rowdy |
