Round 2: Tossup 13

In the Quran this figure, who goes unnamed, is the first to be referred to as zawj. In Gnostic (-5[1])traditions, this embodiment of wisdom is celebrated for awakening others to the oppressive role of the Demiurge. This figure (-5[1])is told “you will not certainly die” by a being whose descendants are cursed to bite another’s heel. This is the alphabetically later of the two figures whose eldest son (*) murders his younger brother and travels to the Land of Nod after being marked. (-5[1])This figure was born from a sleeping man’s rib. A serpent deceived (10[1])this figure into eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good (10[1])and Evil. For 10 points, name this biblical (10[1])wife of Adam. ■END■ (10[3])
