I have a question about something in the book of Genesis in the creation account.

I want to know what the woman's name is.

I do not believe it is EVE. I believe it is ishish or Isis. and the man's name is Adam.

when i looked in a hebrew lexicon, the name eve meant evil, not woman.

when i looked up the word woman, i got ishish

so if anyone can read hebrew for me i would greatly appreciate a translation of the genesis creation account from hebrew to english word for word if that is not asking too much

pretty please? :pray:

Hi Multi Elis,

Thank you for responding to my request.

Since the evil one's name was Khava, what was the name of the Man?
and what was the name of the Woman?
The man's name is A'dam - meaning ruddy or earthy
The woman's name is Khava or Chava - meaning life or living

Where do you get the idea that "the evil one's name" is Khava??

I did a search for the word evil in Hebrew and of the 12 words that came back none were "eve" or Khava.
