Round 2: Tossup 13

In the Quran this figure, who goes unnamed, is the first to be referred to as zawj. In Gnostic traditions, this embodiment of wisdom is celebrated for awakening others to the oppressive role of the Demiurge. This figure 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 (-5[1])after being marked. This figure was born from a sleeping man’s rib. A serpent deceived this figure into eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. For 10 points, name this biblical wife of Adam.
