This name appears in the New Testament, specifically in 2 Corinthians 11:3 and 1 Timothy 2:13, where Eve is referenced in discussions about deception and the order of creation. Usage: The name Chavvah appears in the Hebrew Bible as the proper noun for the first woman, Eve. She is a central figure in the creation narrative and is mentioned in the context of the Garden of Eden and the fall of man. Context: Chavvah, or Eve, is introduced in the Book of Genesis as the first woman created by God. According to Genesis 2:22, she was formed from one of Adam's ribs to be his companion. Eve's role is pivotal in the narrative of the fall, as she is tempted by the serpent to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, subsequently sharing the fruit with Adam (Genesis 3:6). This act leads to the expulsion of both from the Garden of Eden. Eve is also noted as the mother of Cain, Abel, and Seth, and is acknowledged as "the mother of all the living" (Genesis 3:20, BSB). Her story highlights themes of temptation, disobedience, and the consequences of sin, as well as the foundational aspects of human relationships and family.
