Bible Answer: Greetings Babychristian73! Welcome to the forum! Genesis 1-2 can be a little confusing in this sense, both chapters tell the same story from a slightly different perspective. What I mean is this: Chapter one tells the creation account from an overview perspective. It doesn't give much detail and only briefly mentions the creation of Adam and Eve. It does not mention the Garden at all. Chapter two tells the same story again, but this time it focuses on the creation of Adam and Eve, and the events in the Garden of Eden. So, in answer to your question, there was only one woman (Eve) in the beginning. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
