**Eve**, also known as the **First Woman**, was the woman born from the rib of the First Man, Adam, being the female counterpart of Adam, with some saying that she personifies the feminine side of the Creator, while Adam personifies the masculine side. Eve was apart of one of the first human civilizations on Earth.

## Overview

Eve was originally the same entity as Adam, when Primordial Man was still One and Androgyne, personifying the masculine and feminine side of God. After God cut Adam into two halves, Eve became the wife of the first man, although Tinshemet is generally believed to have come before Eve, there is a belief that the two were originally the same person, although neither has confirmed this.

Eve is known to have been deceived by the Serpent who was on the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and, by eating the forbidden fruit and giving the fruit to Adam, condemned all mankind to suffering. However, some believe that in fact, God was limiting Adam and Eve from knowledge, and what Eve did by eating the fruit was to allow mankind to be freed from the prison of Her Creator.

In any case, Adam and Eve were driven out of the Earthly Paradise known as the Garden of Eden, marking this as Creation's first act of rebellion against Its Creator, followed immediately by Lucifer's Rebellion in Paradise, although in fact another rebellion has already taken place long before provoked by the Arcuthas corrupted by Tathamet.

## Appearance

Although she is often portrayed as being blonde, Eve was actually a beautiful woman with red hair, a trait that was passed on to her daughter, Norea. Eve was dark-skinned and also 4.5 meters tall.

## History

God created Eve to be Adam’s consort. While she was happy at first, her life was ruined when she ate the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. She shared the fruit with Adam, resulting in the first creatures being banished from the Garden of Eden.

The serpent, Eve, and finally Adam were punished for their acts of disobedience. After the serpent was cursed, Eve was given a penalty that had a great impact on relationship with her husband and her role in childbearing. Following that, Adam received his punishment.

For her transgression, Eve and all women that followed after her were sentenced to pain and difficulty in childbirth. Following their exile from Eden, Adam and Eve had two sons, Cain and Abel. Cain was a farmer while Abel took care of the sheep. After Abel’s death at the hands of Cain, Eve gave birth to Seth, who Noah and the modern generation of humanity would be descended from. According to several sources, Eve had more children after Cain, Abel, and Seth.

Urantia Book says; **76:5.5** Adam's life lasted **530** years; he died of what might be termed old age. His physical mechanism simply wore out; the process of disintegration gradually gained the upper hand over the process of repair, and the inevitable end came. It had been nineteen years since Eve had died of a weakened heart, that is, at the age of **511**. Both were buried in the center of the temple of divine service that had been built according to their plans shortly after the walls of the colony were completed. From this originated the practice of burying notably pious men and women under the floor of the temples of worship.

## Trivia
