Note the biassed translation of the New International Version (NIV) in this verse. The translators have apparently made two assumptions about the accounts of creation in Genesis:

1. that they are historical narratives that can be read literally;
2. that they can and should be harmonised.

This accounts for their gratuitous use of the Future Perfect tense "she would become...", without even a footnote. A similar fundamentalist error occurs in Genesis 2:18-19. — Bruce
