1. Genesis 3:20 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

Why does Adam give his wife a second name?

Genesis 3:20 (ESV)

20 The man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

Back in Genesis 2:23, Adam gave his wife the name Woman because she was taken of out man. Now he gives her a second name. This shows us that he understood that the curse of death and exile would be undone by the woman’s bringing forth life.1
