3109. Verses 23-25 And he said, Whose daughter are you? Tell me now, is there at your father's house a place for us to spend the night? And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milkah, whom she bore to Nahor. And she said to him, There is both straw and also much fodder with us, and a place to spend the night.

'He said, Whose daughter are you?' means further investigation concerning innocence. 'Tell me now, is there at your father's house a place for us to spend the night?' means investigation concerning the good of charity. 'And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milkah, whom she bore to Nahor' means here, as previously, the whole origin of it. 'And she said to him' means perception. 'There is both straw' means factual truths. 'And also much fodder with us' means the goods that go with these. 'And a place to spend the night' means that state.

The name 'Eve' comes from the Hebrew word חַוָּה or 'Chava,' a form of the word for life, which is why she is called 'the mother of all living.' She represents the church, and is called 'mother' because this was the first Church of all, and 'living' because of its faith in the Lord, who is life itself.
