Level with first woman (3)

I believe the answer is:

eve

'first woman' is the definition.
(first woman in the bible)

'level with' is the wordplay.
'with' indicates a hidden word.
'EVE' can be found hidden inside 'level'.

(Other definitions for eve that I've seen before include "Day before; girl's name" , "Adam's wife" , "Woman in a happy place" , "Day before; first woman" , "First mate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
