Adam and Eve had turned themselves away from God. What they had done spoiled God’s plans. But it did not change God’s *command. God had said, ‘Have large families. Increase so that you fill the earth.’ (See Genesis 1:28.) So Eve was still the mother of everyone who would be born after this time. And God provided clothes for them so that they could continue their lives.
The name ‘Eve’ is like the word that means ‘alive’.
