In the Bible, Eve is the name of the first [[woman]]. According to Genesis, The Lord made her from one of [[Adam]]'s ribs when he was asleep. She gave in to the snake's temptations to eat the forbidden fruit, and had Adam do so as well, despite the fact that she knew full well God has forbidden it. It is explained that as punishment women were made subject to men and were forced to endure painful childbirth.  This is the origin of the concept of "Original Sin".

In the Bible, '''Eve''' is the name of the first [[woman]]. According to [[Genesis]], [[The Lord]] made her from one of [[Adam]]'s ribs when he was asleep and was then his helpmate and companion. Eve was approached by the serpent ([[satan]]) and gave in to the serpents' temptation to eat the forbidden fruit.  Eve then had Adam do so as well.  Both knew they were breaking God's command. As punishment for Eve's sin, women were made subject to men and were forced to endure painful childbirth.  Men were also punished.  This is the origin of the concept of [[Original Sin]].
