Genesis 3:20 meaning and explanation
And Adam named his wife Eve, because she would be the mother of all the living.
Genesis 3:20, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Adam names his wife Eve after God has pronounced judgment on the serpent, the woman and the man. The name comes from the Hebrew chavvah, related to the word for "living," and it sounds like the verb "to live." The naming echoes the earlier act of naming the animals, but here it carries hope: Adam looks past the sentence of death just spoken and calls her the mother of all the living.
