According to the Bible, Eve was the Earth's first woman and the mate of Adam in the Garden of Eden. In Genesis 2:21, God takes a rib from Adam and uses it to create Eve. Eve is tempted by Satan (in the form of a serpent), who encourages her to disobey God by eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge. She does so and then gives the fruit to Adam. When God discovers they have disobeyed him, he expels them from the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:23). In Christian tradition, Eve is honored as the first woman and the mother of humankind, but also condemned for convincing Adam to eat from the tree of knowledge and thereby ruining paradise.
