  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."
