God gave the first women a special position and status of helpmate to Adam. “A closer examination of Genesis 2: 18 belies this conception, however. The expression hezpmeet, used in some older versions, actually translates two Hebrew words. The second, 332 (neged), means “corresponding to” or “equal to” him.7 Eve being the first woman was taken out of the rib of Adam making him(man) incomplete without Eve(woman). Gen. 1:25–27.
Eve, the first woman and first wife was a woman of unique distinction, because she was the mother of all living” (Genesis 3:16 ,3:20). In Genesis 1:28 God commands and Eve along with Adam was tasked and blessed with the awesome responsibility to fulfill “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.” The privilege to give birth is a gift and not misogyny.
