Episode 140 - The Woman Named Eve

Episode Summary

In this Podcast, is treated Genesis 3 and 4, the only places in the Old Testament that Eve’s name is mentioned. Interestingly, even though it is commonly thought that Eve conversed with the serpent and was the first to eat the forbidden fruit, throughout that exchange she is referred to simply as “the woman.” She is given a name by “the man” in Genesis 3:20. The only other time her name appears is in Genesis 4:1, where she conceived and bore her firstborn: Cain. No prophet mentions her. For that matter, what happened in the Garden of Eden plays no role in prophetic denunciations of Israel for its persistent sinning. This contrasts greatly with the New Testament, which makes so much of Eve’s role in the garden episode.
