Genesis 3:20-24

Adam now named the woman Eve. Maybe this is linked to man being master over woman because naming someone or something signified having authority over the person.

The name Eve sounds like the Hebrew for “to give life”. Eve was the mother of all people.

God Himself made clothes for Adam and Eve, despite the fact that it was their own fault they were in this state.

Adam and Eve could no longer be allowed to eat from the tree of life, so they were banished from the garden. Why were they not allowed to do this? Because they had disobeyed God, they had assumed authority for themselves, and so were no longer fit to be allowed to have such knowledge. And God made sure that they could not get back.
