Eve was taken from a side of Adam's original androgynous (God created man in His own image, male and female ( Genesis 1:27)). According to some translations, it is not one side but a side (the word cried is polysemous). It is not a birth and the woman is the essence of man.

The story of Adam and Eve is narrated in the book of Genesis , the first book of the Bible. Eve was tempted by Nachash , Snake, who convinces her to eat the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Then she taste the forbidden fruit to Adam, that God had forbidden him formally. God then decided to expel Adam and Eve of Eden , and placed angels to guard the road leading to the tree of life, and made a couple of mortal beings. Most of it inflicted on Eve and all her female descendants punishment of children in pain and be eternally submissive to men. Adam, himself, will now be forced to fetch his food by the sweat of brow (Gen. 3:15-20).
