Eve

Eve: it's a character in the Bible. According to the records, she was a woman created by a rib that God took from Adam. So Adam said to her, "bone in my bone, flesh in my flesh." the first woman in the world and her husband Adam were the ancestors of human beings. In genesis, it is said that Adam and Eve originally lived in the garden of Eden. Later, Eve was deceived by the snake and went against God's will. She ate the forbidden fruit of the tree of good and evil, and then let Adam eat it. So they were found by God and expelled from the garden of Eden. The concept of "life" is a symbol of fertility and the mother of all living beings.

Character experience

When God created the first person, he first found the earth, and then made a clay figurine according to his own appearance. Clay figurines are made, but they can't move or think. And the Lord breathed a breath upon him. A miracle appeared. The clay figurine immediately breathed, his eyes turned, and his mind also had the human soul, which could walk and jump. This is the first man to come to the world, and the Lord named him Adam.

"I should create a beautiful place for him to live happily." Thought the Lord. Soon, he created a beautiful garden, named Eden. There are many lush trees in the garden of Eden, which are full of all kinds of attractive fruits; the grass on the ground is like a beautiful green carpet; the intoxicating fragrance of flowers flows in the clean air. There are also many beautiful birds and docile animals in the garden. They are singing, walking on the grass in the garden and drinking by the clear spring. Adam lived in the garden of Eden, with plants as companions, with animals as friends, without the invasion of the storm, there is no fear of starvation, daily starvation of fresh fruit, thirst for water, not to mention how happy.

However, although there are many trees and fruits in the garden of Eden, there is a fruit on the wisdom tree that can't be eaten. Though worried that Adam ate the forbidden fruit by mistake, he warned him, "if you eat the forbidden fruit on the tree of wisdom, you will surely die." Adam obeyed God's advice and did not eat the fruit of the tree of wisdom.

Adam lived alone in the garden of Eden. God worried about his loneliness and thought, "I should create a partner for him. In this way, his life will be better." So God said the spell, and Adam fell asleep in it. When Adam was asleep, God came to him, took a rib from him, and made a woman out of it. Adam named her Eve.

When Adam woke up, he was surprised to find a stranger beside him. God told him, "her name is Eve, from one of your ribs, and he will be your wife and partner for life." Adam was very happy and said, "she is the bone of my bones, the flesh of my flesh." So they became husband and wife.

Character description

Genesis 2

And the LORD God put the man in the garden of Eden to repair and keep him. The LORD God said to him, "you may eat the fruit of every tree in the garden as you like, but you shall not eat the fruit of the tree that distinguishes good from evil, for you will surely die on the day you eat it." The LORD God said, "it is not good for the man to live alone. I will make him a spouse to help him." And all the beasts of the field, and all the birds of the air, which the LORD God had made out of the earth, brought to the man to see what he called. That's what the man called all kinds of living creatures.

And the man named all the cattle, and all the birds of the air, and all the beasts of the field: but the man found no mate to help him. And the LORD God put him to a deep sleep, and he fell asleep; and he took one of his ribs, and shut up the flesh. And the LORD God made a woman out of the rib which he had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. The man said, "this is the bone of my bones, the flesh of my flesh. You can call her" woman "because she is taken from a man." Therefore, a man should leave his parents and join his wife, and they will become one.

At that time, the couple were naked and not ashamed.

But the serpent is more crafty than all the living creatures of the field, which the LORD God has made. The snake said to the woman, "does God really say that you are not allowed to eat from all the trees in the garden?" The woman said to the snake, "we can eat the fruit of the tree in the garden, but God said," you shall not eat or touch the fruit of the tree in the garden, or you will die. "

The snake said to the woman, "you may not die, because God knows that when you eat, your eyes will be bright, and you will know good and evil as God."

And when the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food, and pleasing to the eyes, and pleasing, and able to make men wise, she plucked the fruit and ate it; and she gave it to her husband, and her husband ate it.

And their eyes were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they took the leaves of the fig tree and made themselves skirts.

A cool wind came up and the LORD God was walking in the garden. When the man and his wife heard the voice of God, they hid themselves in the trees of the garden from the presence of the LORD God.

The LORD God called the man and said to him, "where are you?" He said, "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid." The LORD said, "who told you to be naked? Did you eat the fruit of the tree that I told you not to eat? " The man said, "the woman you gave me and lived with me, she gave me the fruit of the tree, and I ate it." The LORD God said to the woman, "what have you done?" Then the woman seduced me to eat the snake

The LORD God said to the snake, "since you have done this, you will be cursed more than all animals and beasts; you will walk on your stomach and eat the earth all your life. And I will enmity you and the woman against one another, and your descendants and the woman's descendants against one another. The offspring of a woman will hurt your head; you will hurt his heel. "

And he said to the woman, "I will increase the pain of your childbirth, and you will suffer more when you give birth. You will love your husband, and he will rule over you. "

And he said to Adam, "now that you have listened to your wife and eaten the fruit of the tree which I told you not to eat, the earth will be cursed for your sake. You will toil all your life to get food from the land. The earth will give you thorns and thistles, and you will eat the vegetables of the field. You will not stop sweating until you return to the earth, for you came out of the earth. You are dust, return to dust. "

Later, Adam named his wife Eve because she was the mother of all living beings.

Character analysis

"Woman" is not made of earth by God, but of Adam's rib. That is to say, the Lord is equivalent to having Adam undergo a surgical operation to create a "woman". Women are God's last creation. Why did the Lord take Adam's rib instead of a bone or a bone from a foot? It's up to the Lord. The Lord created a woman for Adam. Because Adam did not have a suitable spouse to help him, the Lord established a monogamous marriage system. Adam and his wife should fully understand the meaning of the concepts of "birth" and "many" when the LORD blesses them.

Adam, as the ancestor of man, had no parents but a spouse. The marriage established by the Lord is to make man and his spouse become one. First, Adam and his wife "woman" United. It is not shameful for husband and wife to be naked, because the wife has no right to claim her body, but her husband. The husband has no right to claim his body, but his wife. Adam and "woman" are created by God in his own image, so men and women are equal. Ribs in the middle of the body may better reflect the equality of men and women in human nature. The Lord first made Adam and made a covenant with him, and then made a "woman" to let Adam lead the "woman", and the woman was Adam's assistant in the garden of Eden.

Characters

Eve is the first woman recorded in Judaism and Christianity, and the "mother of all living beings" of all mankind.

After God created man, the responsibility given to man in the garden of Eden is to "govern, manage, repair and guard", and the direct recipient is Adam. However, God was not satisfied with the perfect existence of Adam, because the LORD God said, "it is not good for that man to live alone. I will create a spouse for him to help him." God saw man's deeper needs, which transcended Adam's own feelings, because God knew his own instinct in creation. God created Eve so that Adam could have "a spouse to help him.". One function is to be a "spouse", the other is to be a "helper". Eve's responsibility is to help Adam, to be a helper and an assistant to him. We need to help Adam "govern, manage, repair and guard" the garden of Eden with Adam according to God's will. The duty and obligation of a wife is to help her husband with all his strength, so that he can serve God more effectively in all affairs, life, work and other aspects, and be a man who pleases God. Eve is what Adam needs and can make up for Adam's deficiency.

Now, I'm enjoying almost the whole day. I arrived yesterday. It's because I have this feeling. And it must be so, because if there was a day before yesterday, then I was not there, otherwise, I would remember. Of course, there may have been a day before yesterday, but I didn't notice it.
