Genesis 2:23 | Pastor Burns' Study Notes

When Adam sees Eve, he recognizes immediately that she is different from all the animals. She is not another creature beneath him. She is bone of his bones and flesh of his flesh.

Adam calls her Woman because she was taken out of Man. The word points to her relationship to him. She came from man and corresponded to man.

Later, in Genesis 3:20, the woman is named Eve.

Genesis 2:23 emphasizes the unity between Adam and Eve. They are distinct, but they belong together. They share the same human nature. She was made for companionship with him.
