Old Testament
Ḥavah
Eve
b. 4004 BC
Created from the man’s rib and brought to him (Genesis 2:22). Named Eve (Hebrew חוָּה, Hawwah) by Adam, “because she was the mother of all living” (Genesis 3:20). The text does not record her death. The lifespan bar begins with Adam’s chronological anchor; the text gives no independent birth year for her.
