[5] : Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
eve
   life; living, the name given by adam to his wife gen. 3:20;
   4:1. the account of her creation is given in gen. 2:21, 22. the
   creator, by declaring that it was not good for man to be alone,
   and by creating for him a suitable companion, gave sanction to
   monogamy. the commentator matthew henry says: "this companion
   was taken from his side to signify that she was to be dear unto
   him as his own flesh. not from his head, lest she should rule
   over him; nor from his feet, lest he should tyrannize over her;
   but from his side, to denote that species of equality which is
   to subsist in the marriage state." and again, "that wife that is
   of god's making by special grace, and of god's bringing by
   special providence, is likely to prove a helpmeet to her
   husband." through the subtle temptation of the serpent she
   violated the commandment of god by taking of the forbidden
   fruit, which she gave also unto her husband 1 tim. 2:13-15; 2
   cor. 11:3. when she gave birth to her first son, she said, "i
   have gotten a man from the lord" r.v., "i have gotten a man
   with the help of the lord," gen. 4:1. thus she welcomed cain,
   as some think, as if he had been the promised one the "seed of
   the woman."
