Genesis 2:20-22

20The 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 3a helper 4suitable for him.

21So the Lord God caused a 5deep 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 6fashioned into a woman 7the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.
