Genesis 2:18–25
18 Thenv Yahweh God said, “it is not good that the manw is alone. I will make for him a helper ⌊as his counterpart⌋.”x 19 And out of the ground Yahweh God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky,y and he brought each to the manz to see what he would call it. And whatever the mana called that living creature was its name. 20 And the manb ⌊gave names⌋c to every domesticated animal and to the birds of heavend and to all the wild animals.e But for the man there was not found a helper ⌊as his counterpart⌋.f 21 And Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man.g Whileh he slept, he took one of his ribs, and closed up ⌊the flesh where it had been⌋.i 22 And Yahweh God fashioned the rib which he had taken from the manj into a woman and brought her to the man.k 23 And the manl said,
“⌊She is now⌋m bone from my bones
and flesh from my flesh;
⌊she⌋n shall be called ‘Woman,’
for ⌊she was taken⌋o from man.”
24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall cling to his wife, and they shall be as one flesh. 25 And the manp and his wife, both of them, were naked, and they were not ashamed.
