Eve

Eve [Heb.,=life], in the Bible, the first woman, wife of Adam and the mother of Cain, Abel, and Seth. Fashioned from Adam's rib, she was beguiled by the serpent into eating the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge. Eve then tempted Adam to eat, whereupon they were banished from the Garden of Eden. See also Lilith .

Eve (Heb., Ḥavvah). According to Jewish scripture, the first woman. According to the aggadah, Eve was Adam's second wife after Lilith had left him, and the serpent approached Eve rather than Adam because it knew women are more easily tempted (ARN 1. 4). Eve is buried beside Adam on Mount Machpelah.

In Islam the wife of Adam is mentioned in the Qurʾān, but not by name. Further details, including the name Eve (Arab., Hawwāʾ), are given in legends, probably from Rabbinic and Syriac sources. Ḥawwāʾ died two years after Adam and was buried beside him at Mecca.
