Genesis 2:18-22

18And Jehovah GodH430 saidH559, It is not goodH2896 that the manH120 should beH1961 aloneH905; I will makeH6213 him a helpH5828 meet for him. 19And out of the groundH127 Jehovah GodH430 formedH3335 every beast of the fieldH7704, and every birdH5775 of the heavensH8064; and broughtH935 them unto the manH120 to seeH7200 what he would callH7121 them: and whatsoever the manH120 calledH7121 every living creatureH5315, that was the nameH8034 thereof. 20And the manH120 gave namesH8034 to all cattleH929, and to the birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064, and to every beast of the fieldH7704; but for manH120 there was not foundH4672 a helpH5828 meet for him. 21And Jehovah GodH430 caused a deepH8639 sleepH3462 to fallH5307 upon the manH120, and he sleptH3462; and he tookH3947 oneH259 of his ribs, and closed up the fleshH1320 instead thereof: 22and the rib, which Jehovah GodH430 had takenH3947 from the manH120, made he a womanH802, and broughtH935 her unto the manH120.
