Women of the Scriptures - Eve

Women of the Scriptures - Eve

Favorite pastime:   Do mothers have pastimes?

Favorite place to eat: The Garden of Eden (everything was free!)

Favorite food: Fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.  Although it was a tough decision I wouldn’t give up my children for anything.  I realized that ‘it is better to pass through sorrow that we may know the good from the evil’. (Moses 5:11)

Education:  I had the privilege of being taught directly by Heavenly Father during my time in the Garden of Eden.  After being driven out of the Garden, Adam and I had to learn for ourselves the good from the evil.

Favorite thing about where I live:  Well, after eating the fruit we were cast out of the garden and had to grow our own food and make our own shelter and clothing.  The blessing of having children and raising a large family has made it all worth it though.

Favorite thing to do with my family:  Bless the name of God and teach my children of his goodness (Moses 5:12).

Children:  Cain and Abel were my first two boys but after a terrible tragedy where I lost both of them the Lord blessed me with my son Seth and many other children after. (Gen. 4:1-16)

Where did you grow up:  I have the unique history of not actually growing up, I was formed from Adam’s rib and we spent many years learning and ‘growing’ in the Garden of Eden.

Hobbies:  Gardening, teaching my children, following the Gospel principles.

Anything else interesting about you:  I am the Mother of all living and my name in Hebrew means ‘life’. (Gen 3:20)
