¹⁶And Yahweh God commanded the man,^r saying, “From every tree of the garden you may freely eat,^s ¹⁷but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat^t from it you shall surely die.”^u

¹⁸Then^v Yahweh God said, “it is not good that the man^w is alone. I will make for him a helper as his counterpart.”^x ¹⁹And 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 man^z to see what he would call it. And whatever the man^a called that living creature was its name. ²⁰And the man^b gave names^c to every domesticated animal and to the birds of heaven^d and to all the wild animals.^e But for the man there was not found a helper as his counterpart.^f ²¹And Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man.^g While^h he slept, he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh where it had been.ⁱ ²²And Yahweh God fashioned the rib which he had taken from the man^j into a woman and brought her to the man.^k ²³And the man^l said,

“She is now^m bone from my bones

and flesh from my flesh;

sheⁿ shall be called ‘Woman,’

for she was taken^o from man.”
