Gen 3:20
  Interlinear
The man named his wife Eve (life-giver – Hebr. Chavah) [alluding to the Hebr. words for life and living] because she was the mother of all living (Hebr. chaj).
Gen 4:1
  Interlinear
[This chapter consists of seven sections in a chiastic pattern. Centrally, it describes Cain's murder of his brother Abel, see verse 8. A total of thirteen birth formulas are used (knew, bore, begot, became the father of, etc.), see verses 1, 2, 17, 18a, 18b, 18c, 18d, 20, 21, 22a, 22b, 25, and 26. The Hebrew is varied, and ten different ways are used to describe these births/relationships. The word jada describes knowing something well, having intimate knowledge, and having sexual intercourse. In the first occurrence, when Adam and Eve's marital life is described, the form qatal is used, which is often translated as perfect. Sexuality is a gift from the Lord that existed even before the Fall.]
And she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain (Hebr. Qajin) [meaning: 'I have acquired']. Then she said, "I have acquired (gotten – Hebr. qanah) a man with the help of the Lord."
[The verb harah means to become or be pregnant. Although the word is a separate root, there is a connection to the noun har, which means mountain. The obvious connection is that a pregnant belly looks like a mountain. However, there is also another connection between the words. In Hebrew thought, a mountain is not something that is high, a mountain is a large amount of something that has been gathered. A mountain is synonymous with a large group of people (Jer. 51:25), or even gods (Isa. 14:13). This idea is also present in becoming pregnant, it becomes a new group of people.]
2 Cor 11:3
  Interlinear
But I fear that, just as the serpent deceived Eve with its cunning [Gen. 3:1–6], so too your minds may be seduced and turned away from sincere and pure devotion to the Anointed One (Messiah, Christ).
[Paul uses the image of marriage and the Jewish betrothal, which was much more binding than today's engagement. Paul was like a father to the church in Corinth, see 1 Cor. 4:15. Jesus is often likened to Adam, see Rom. 15:14; 1 Cor. 15:21–22, 45. Here, the church in Corinth is likened to Eve. The church is betrothed to Jesus. Instead of resisting the devil, see James 4:7, the Corinthians had listened to the devil's representatives who had deceived them, see 2 Cor. 11:13–15; 4:2.]
1 Tim 2:13
  Interlinear
For Adam was created first,
and then Eve.
