Gen.1[ 26] And God said, Let us make man אָדָם in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

[27] So God created man וַיִּבְרָא אֱלֹהִים אֶת־ הָאָדָם in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them . זָכָר וּנְקֵבָה, בָּרָא אֹתָם

[28 ] And God blessed them, אֹתָם and God said unto them לָהֶם , Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

[7] And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, הָאָדָם, עָפָר מִן־הָאֲדָמָה and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. נֶפֶשׁ חַיָּה

[18] And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. עֵזֶר כְּנֶגְדּוֹ

[20 ] And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. עֵזֶר כְּנֶגְדּוֹ

[21 ] And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;[ 22] And the rib, צֵּלָע which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.[ 23] And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman אִשָּׁה , because she was taken out of ( the ) Man. הָאָדָם [24 ] Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.[25 ] And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

Gen.3[ 20] And Adam called his wife's name Eve ( chavva?h ); חַוָּה because she was the mother of all living. אֵם כָּל־חָי

***recap from chapter 1, verse 27...

זָכָר וּנְקֵבָה, בְּרָאָם; וַיְבָרֶךְ אֹתָם, וַיִּקְרָא אֶת־שְׁמָם אָדָם , בְּיוֹם, הִבָּרְאָם

1Tim.2[ 13] For Adam was first formed, then Eve.[ 14] And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression

Adam's transgression was he did not obey God but listen to his wife instead.

Gen.3[ 17] And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

Acts.17[ 26] And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
