For example, we learn that Eve “conceived and bare” children and that she nurtured them (Moses 5:16). Her efforts to nurture were not limited to their physical development, but the scriptures emphasize her concern over their spiritual growth (see also President Henry B. Eyring, Ensign Nov. 2018). When her son Cain was born, she announced, “I have gotten a man from the Lord” and she expressed hope that she could raise him so that “he may not reject [God’s] words” (Moses 5:16). Tragically, Cain did not listen to his faithful parents, bringing the very sorrow in mothering that God had predicted (Moses 4:22).Share
