The root "ezer" is the same word that God used to describe to Adam who Eve was.

She was not intended to be just his helper or his companion, rather she was intended to be his Savior, his deliverer."



What Is “Ezer”?

It comes from two root words meaning “to rescue, to save” and “to be strong” (R. David Freedman, “Woman, a Power Equal to Man”). An ezer protects. An ezer delivers. An ezer kicks butt. An ezer reflects the image of God, who is “our ezer and our shield” (Psalm 33:20), “my ezer and my deliverer” (Psalm 70:5).

God created the woman as an ezer.

The word ezer occurs twenty-one times in the Old Testament. In two cases it refers to the first woman, Eve, in Genesis

2. Three times it refers to powerful nations Israel called on for help when besieged. In the sixteen remaining cases the word refers to God as our help. He is the one who comes alongside us in our helplessness. That's the meaning of ezer. Because God is not subordinate to his creatures, any idea that an ezer-helper is inferior is untenable. In his book Man and Woman:


One in Christ, Philip Payne puts it this way: "The noun used here [ezer] throughout the Old Testament does not suggest 'helper' as in 'servant,' but help, savior, rescuer, protector as in 'God is our help.' In no other occurrence in the Old Testament does this refer to an inferior, but always to a superior or an equal...'help' expresses that the woman is a help/strength who rescues or saves man."
