Genesis 2:16-25
16And YhwhH3068 GodH430 commandedH6680 the manH120, sayingH559, Of every treeH6086 of the gardenH1588 thou mayest freelyH398 eatH398:1 17But of the treeH6086 of the knowledgeH1847 of goodH2896 and evilH7451, thou shalt not eatH398 of it: for in the dayH3117 that thou eatestH398 thereof thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191.2
18And YhwhH3068 GodH430 saidH559, It is not goodH2896 that the manH120 should beH1961 alone; I will makeH6213 him an help meetH5828 for him.3 19And out of the groundH127 YhwhH3068 GodH430 formedH3335 every beastH2416 of the fieldH7704, and every fowlH5775 of the airH8064; and broughtH935 them unto AdamH120 to seeH7200 what he would callH7121 them: and whatsoever AdamH120 calledH7121 every livingH2416 creatureH5315, thatH1931 was the name thereofH8034.4 20And AdamH120 gaveH7121 namesH8034 to all cattleH929, and to the fowlH5775 of the airH8064, and to every beastH2416 of the fieldH7704; but for AdamH120 there was not foundH4672 an help meetH5828 for him.5 21And YhwhH3068 GodH430 causedH5307 a deep sleepH8639 to fallH5307 upon AdamH121, and he sleptH3462: and he tookH3947 oneH259 of his ribsH6763, and closed upH5462 the fleshH1320 instead thereof; 22And the ribH6763, which YhwhH3068 GodH430 had takenH3947 from manH120, madeH1129 he a womanH802, and broughtH935 her unto the manH120.6 23And AdamH120 saidH559, ThisH2063 is nowH6471 boneH6106 of my bonesH6106, and fleshH1320 of my fleshH1320: sheH2063 shall be calledH7121 WomanH802, because sheH2063 was takenH3947 out of ManH376.78 24ThereforeH3651 shall a manH376 leaveH5800 his fatherH1 and his motherH517, and shall cleaveH1692 unto his wifeH802: and they shall be oneH259 fleshH1320. 25And they were bothH8147 nakedH6174, the manH120 and his wifeH802, and were not ashamedH954.
