Genesis 2:18–25

¹⁸Then Yahweh God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; ^aI will make him a helper ¹suitable for him.”

^19aAnd out of the ground Yahweh God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the ¹sky, and He ^bbrought each to the man to see what he would call it; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name.

²⁰And the man gave names to all the cattle and to the birds of the ¹sky and to every beast of the field; but for ²Adam there was not found ^aa helper ³suitable for him.

²¹So Yahweh God caused a ^adeep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place.

²²And Yahweh God ¹fashioned ^athe rib, which He had taken from the man, into a woman, and He brought her to the man.

²³Then the man said,

“^aThis one finally is bone of my bones,

And flesh of my flesh;

This one shall be called ¹Woman,

Because this one was taken out of ²Man.”

^24aTherefore a man shall leave his father and his mother, and cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.

^25aAnd the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.
