because Adam was made first. Eve was made later.
Then the Lord God said, “I see that it is not good for the man to be alone. I will make the companion he needs, one just right for him.”
The Lord God used the rib from the man to make a woman. Then he brought the woman to the man.
Then the Lord God took dust from the ground and made a man. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nose, and the man became a living thing.
So God created humans in his own image. He created them to be like himself. He created them male and female.
Then God said to the woman, “I will cause you to have much trouble when you are pregnant. And when you give birth to children, you will have much pain. You will want your husband very much, but he will rule over you.”
Adam named his wife Eve. He gave her this name because Eve would be the mother of everyone who ever lived.
