eve in genesis is an area of the bible a lot of people point to as an example of a woman's nature.i was wondering if there is any more information in the old testament regarding a woman's nature
First thing that popped into my mind was the Book of Ruth.eve in genesis is an area of the bible a lot of people point to as an example of a woman's nature.i was wondering if there is any more information in the old testament regarding a woman's nature
I Erred in my haste. The entire 31st chapter of Proverbs not Psalms.Two places you can look: The entire 31st Psalm and Isaiah 25: 3-42 which is the story of a woman married to a really selfish man.

Do a WORD search on "mystery"
I'll be married 51 years in a couple of weeks; STILL don't understand her; BUT LOVE her beyond words.
This once sorta encapsulates what your asking:
"But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, a wisdom which is hidden, which God ordained before the world, unto our glory:"[1 Corinthians 2:7
1Sa_25:3 Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.eve in genesis is an area of the bible a lot of people point to as an example of a woman's nature.i was wondering if there is any more information in the old testament regarding a woman's nature
1Sa_25:3 Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.
Abigail disobeyed her husband in the case of common courtesy toward David and his men.
Below are scriptures from Proverbs 31 which is almost totally about the good woman.
Pro_31:11 ב Her husband trusts her from his heart, and she will prove a great asset to him.
Pro_31:12 ג She works to bring him good, not harm, all the days of her life.
Pro_31:13 ד She procures a supply of wool and flax and works with willing hands.
Pro_31:14 ה She is like those merchant vessels, bringing her food from far away.
Pro_31:15 ו It's still dark when she rises to give food to her household and orders to the young women serving her.
Pro_31:16 ז She considers a field, then buys it, and from her earnings she plants a vineyard.
Pro_31:17 ח She gathers her strength around her and throws herself into her work.
Pro_31:18 ט She sees that her business affairs go well; her lamp stays lit at night.
Pro_31:19 י She puts her hands to the staff with the flax; her fingers hold the spinning rod.
Pro_31:20 כ She reaches out to embrace the poor and opens her arms to the needy.
Pro_31:21 ל When it snows, she has no fear for her household; since all of them are doubly clothed.
Pro_31:22 מ She makes her own quilts; she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
Pro_31:24 ס She makes linen garments and sells them; she supplies the merchants with sashes.
Pro_31:25 ע Clothed with strength and dignity, she can laugh at the days to come.
Pro_31:26 פ When she opens her mouth, she speaks wisely; on her tongue is loving instruction.
Pro_31:27 צ She watches how things go in her house, not eating the bread of idleness.
Pro_31:31 ת Give her a share in what she produces; let her works speak her praises at the city gates.
Her husband does not interfere with her work.

The Bible doesn't attempt to nail down the nature of a woman. God made us the greatest mysteries in the universe.
You don't think it's talking about specific women?Read Luke Chapter ONE in its entirety; carefully and prayerfully
May God lead our Life paths,

Instead of turning to a book of ancient mythologies written by men I would go ask women about the nature women. As for the OT, you won't find anything.

Shalom aleichem.
There is sometimes a thin line that separates discussion from proselytizing. Your post crosses that line, at least as I see it.Read Luke Chapter ONE in its entirety; carefully and prayerfully
