Relationships are scarcely important in the first biblical creation account (Genesis 1:1-2:4a) but play an important part in the second account beginning in Genesis 2:4b. Even the description of Eve being made from Adam's rib, rather than from dirt like Adam and all the animals, is intended to show Adam and Eve as inseparable. After God created Adam in this story, he created the beasts of the field one by one, to see which one would be a helpmeet for Adam. When no helpmeet could be found, God then created Eve.

Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) points out that knowing his wife is the man's only deed reported in this story. After Eve gives birth to Cain, she compares herself as creator to God, "qanithi 'ish 'eth 'Adonai", though the conventional translation, "I have gotten a man from, or with the help of, the Lord" makes Eve seem grateful and even pious. She does not celebrate the birth of Abel, who is introduced only as "his brother, Abel." There is no described relation of Abel to his mother, only to Cain. He is important only or mainly as Cain's brother.
