Eve was created from Adam to be his companion and his helper. This is where a lot of women struggle. Some think that being called a helper means that women are less than men. The term 'Helper' isn’t a very glamorous term. However, if we look closely at that words, we will come away rejoicing to be called "helper".
In Hebrew, the word for “helper” used in Genesis 2:18 and 20 is "ezer" (pronounced “ay-zer”). It is always used in the Old Testament in the context of vitally important and powerful acts of rescue and support. The word "ezer" is only used twenty-one times in the Old Testament. Twice it is used in the context of the first woman, three times in a military context, and sixteen times it is used in reference to God as a helper. "Ezer" describes aspects of God’s character: He is our strength, our rescuer, our protector, and our help. And "ezer" was the Holy Spirit’s word of choice to describe the first woman. Eve was someone who would provide valuable and vital strength to Adam.
The word "ezer" is qualified by the word "kenegdo" in both verses in Genesis regarding the woman. Ezer always refers to a strong type of help, a rescuer who risks all to save. "Kenegdo" is seen in the King James Version as the word “meet,” as in “a help meet for him.” This has been mistranslated by some as “helpmate.” In reality, "kenegdo" means “fit for” or “corresponding to.” Thus, we read "ezer kenegdo" as “power and strength fit for man.” This shows that Eve was designed to be a complementary and equal partner for Adam. There is no sense of subordination stated, implied, or even hinted at in this passage in Genesis.
All was well in the garden as Adam and Eve discovered their personal uniqueness, strengths, and weaknesses and learned to work together as equal but different persons. Then, something happened: “Now the serpent was more crafty (subtle, skilled in deceit) than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And the serpent (Satan) said to the woman, ‘Can it really be that God has said, “You shall not eat from any tree of the Garden?”’” (Genesis 3:1, AMP)
Satan appealed to her, as a woman, through the ear-gate – through communication. The battle of the sexes began. When confronted by God, while hiding, covering their nakedness, and asked if they’d eaten from the tree, Adam said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me – she gave me [fruit] from the tree, and I ate it” (Genesis 3:12, AMP). She made me do it.
Her protector became her accuser.
God didn’t hesitate for one moment to provide their salvation, saying to the serpent that the seed of the woman (Jesus) would bruise his head, and he would bruise his (Jesus’) heel. Adam then named his wife Eve which means “mother of all the living,” or “life-giver.” This means that women birth children, but it also means that every redeemed woman can be a life-giver in every relationship and every season of life. This is good news, the gospel, that even out of death, there can be life!
