Bible Question: What was (eve's) name before they were cast out of the garden and what do both words mean????? |
Bible Answer: I’m not sure I know what you mean when you say Eve had another name. Looking in scripture we see Eve called a “helper” from the Hebrew word “ezer” in Genesis 2:18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.” Nelson’s Bible Dictionary definition of “women” gives us more insight ...The man was created before the woman. Because the man needed companionship and a helper, God caused the man to sleep. From him He created a woman, “a helper comparable to him” (Gen. 2:18, 20). Man is incomplete without woman. Because she is called a “helper” does not imply that she is inferior to man. The same Hebrew word translated as helper is used of God in His relationship to Israel... In Gen. 2:23 Eve is called “woman” from the Hebrew word “ishshah”? Genesis 2:23 The man 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.” The King James Bible Commentary reads :; ,..She shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man is a play on the words for man and woman, for they have a similar sound in Hebrew. Though they are probably from two different roots, the sounds aptly mark the affinity between the man and the woman. This is missed in a translation... In Genesis 3:20 we see Eve called “Eve”, “Now the man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all the living.” Which is translated from the Hebrew word “chavvah” which means “life” or “life giver.” In Genesis 3:21 The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them. We see Eve also called “Wife” which is the Hebrew word “ishshah” which is also translated woman. I hope this answers your question |
