Genesis 2:18-23

18And Yhwh God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.1 19And out of the ground Yhwh God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.2 20And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.3 21And Yhwh God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22And the rib, which Yhwh God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.4 23And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.56
