So yes, Eve is the mother of all life, but her name simply doesn't mean life. These two letter sometimes interchange, but this verb, and all its many derivations are always spelled with a yod. The verb is spelled with a yod but the name is spelled with a waw. Note the difference between the verb that means to live and the name Eve: חיה and חוה. The "mother of all life" gives birth to life and hence comes before it. The "mother of all life" is something that supports life and leads up to it. Hence the "mother of all life" is the biosphere all living things.Īnd hence the NOBSE Study Bible Name List, Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names, and even BDB Theological Dictionary report in dubious unison that the name Eve means Life. The phrase "all life" returns six times in Scriptures and never just mankind is meant ( show me).
