I know that Eve, in the story from Genesis in the Bible, in Hebrew is "chavah" but I am looking for the actual Hebrew characters. Any help would be so appreciated!! Thanks!

Chavah:
חוה, or with vowel marks: חַוָּה (chet, vav, heh)
You could also write it חווה (chet, vav, vav, heh)
"Eve", transliterated to Hebrew is:
איב, or with vowel marks: אִיב (alef, yud, bet)

I was reading through the answers and noticed that there must be a mistake in the latin Vulgate verse, because it does not fit with the English Translation. In the English translation, it says "From the Lord", which in Latin is "ex Domino" or "a Domino".
"Per Dominum" means "Through the Lord".
I was just wondeing if it was an error in print, or what.

Here you go:
חוה
chet - vav - he
some write it
חווה
with double "vav", this is not a mistake.
