Genesis 2:16-25
16The Lord God 1commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; 17but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not 2eat, for in the day that you eat from it 3you will surely die.”
18Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; 4I will make him a helper 5suitable for him.” 196Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the 7sky, and 8brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name. 20The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the 9sky, and to every beast of the field, but for 10Adam there was not found 11a helper 12suitable for him. 21So the Lord God caused a 13deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. 22The Lord God 14fashioned into a woman 15the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. 23The man said, “16This is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; 17She shall be called 18Woman, Because 19she was taken out of 20Man.” 2421For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. 2522And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.
