Genesis 2:20-24
20The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam1 no suitable helper was found.
21So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he slept, He took one of the man’s ribs2 and closed up the area with flesh. 22And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman and brought her to him. 23And the man said:
“This is now bone of my bonesand flesh of my flesh;she shall be called ‘woman,’for out of man she was taken.”
24For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.3
