Eve (Bible)
Name and Origin According to the
Bible, Eve (
Hebrew: חַוָּה, chavvah;
Arabic: حواء, Hawwa;
Ge'ez: ሕይዋን Hiywan; "living one" or "source of life", from Hebrew ḥawwâ, "living", "life", from ḥāyâ, "to live"; ultimately from the
Semitic root ḥyw) is
Adam's wife, created for and named by Adam. Derived from the words chavah, meaning "to breathe" and chayah, meaning "to live", her name occurs only five times in the Bible. Historically the name appears to have been derived from that of the
Hurrian Goddess "
Kheba", who was shown in the
Amarna Letters to be worshipped in
Jerusalem during the Late
Bronze Age. It has been suggested that the name Kheba may derive from
Kubau, a woman who reigned as the first "king" of the Third Dynasty of
Kish . Another name of
Asherah in the first millenium BCE was Chawat, Hawah in Hebrew (Eve in English). Her full title was "Rabat Chawat Elat", Great Lady Eve the Goddess, and was associated with the serpent. Thus, Chawah/Eve was probably a form of Asherah in her guise as a Serpent Goddess. As a snake goddess, she was also represented by bronze serpent forms, examples of which have been found in archaeological excavations in the Levant. In fact the
Nehush-tan, literally the Bronze Serpent which in traditional Jewish myth is associated with Moses, is much more likely an emblem of Asherah. It too was removed from the Jerusalem temple the same time as the "asherah objects", during the reign of
Hezekiah.

Adam und Eva
Adam und Eva waren nach dem im
Buch Genesis in den Kapiteln 2 bis 5 niedergelegten biblischen
Schöpfungsbericht das erste Menschenpaar und Stammeltern aller Menschen.Adam (
hebr. , adam, „Mensch“, „der von der Erde Genommene“) wurde demnach von
Gott aus dem Lehm des Ackerbodens erschaffen, danach wurde ihm der
Lebensatem (die ruach) eingehaucht. Adam gab den Tieren Namen, fand aber kein partnerschaftliches Gegenüber. Darauf ließ Gott Adam in einen tiefen
Schlaf fallen, entnahm ihm eine
Rippe bzw. Seite und schuf aus dieser sein Gegenüber Eva (
hebr. , chawah, „die Belebte“). Wurde in der Erzählung bis dahin immer von „dem Menschen“ („Adam“) gesprochen, erkennt Adam („Mensch“) in der Begegnung mit dem neuen Wesen in sich den Mann („isch“) und in seinem Gegenüber die Frau („ischa“ – eig.: „Männin“).
