Chava's Role
We see her role in the Kayin and Hevel saga.
Hevel
Kayin
- Chava named Hevel which means "breath".
- This alludes the fact that Hevel lived a very short life.
Conclusion
- Chava was the first person to give birth, therefore she "acquired" something with God.
- That is how Kayin got his name.
- She passed the legacy of creation onto Kayin, so Kayin had a desire to create food, plants and agricultural necessities.
The Dissection
Let's dig deeper.
- Kayin's idea was to bring the Korban.
- Kayin brought "some" of his crops and Hevel brought the best of his flock.
- According to this, Kayin brought a mediocre Korban.
The Connection
Where he went wrong.
We see the connection between Adam and Chava and Kayin and Hevel.
First Problem
Second Problem
- Kayin went cheap with the sacrifice that he gave God.
- God asks Kayin where his brother is the same way God asks Adam where he was.
- They both respond by hiding from God.
- Kayin gets banished from his home just as Adam and Eve get banished from the Garden of Eden.
- He couldn't accept constructive criticism from God.
