3:20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
This verse is placed completely at random. It makes no sense with what went before; nor with what immediately follows. This would have made sense towards the end of chapter 2, but it's very strange here.
Adam, if you recall, wasn't named. His name just suddenly appeared and is not explained. All through this chapter, Eve is referred to as "the wife" or "the woman". Except for this verse, her name is never used. Not to give away the ending, from what I can tell, it is used once more at the very beginning of chapter 4, and then never again.

So Eve wasn't named until character three. And her name was only used like three times in the whole entire book.
ReplyDeleteThis is just showing that the writers of the bible may be sexist.
