Genesis 2:16-25

16And the LORDH3068 GodH430 commandedH6680 the manH120, sayingH559, Of everyH3605 treeH6086 of the gardenH1588 thou mayest freelyH398 eatH398: 17but of the treeH6086 of the knowledgeH1847 of goodH2896 and evilH7451, thou shalt notH3808 eatH398 of it: for in the dayH3117 that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surelyH3588 dieH4191. 18And the LORDH3068 GodH430 saidH559, It is notH3808 goodH2896 that the manH120 should be aloneH905; I will makeH6213 him an helpH5828 meet for him. 19And outH4480 of the groundH127 the LORDH3068 GodH430 formedH3335 everyH3605 beastH2416 of the fieldH7704, and everyH3605 fowlH5775 of the air; and broughtH935 them unto the manH120 to seeH7200 whatH4100 he would callH7121 them: and whatsoeverH3605 the manH120 calledH7121 everyH3605 livingH2416 creatureH5315, that was the nameH8034 thereof. 20And the manH120 gaveH7121 namesH8034 to allH3605 cattleH929, and to the fowlH5775 of the air, and to everyH3605 beastH929 of the fieldH7704; but for manH120 there was notH3808 foundH4672 an helpH5828 meetH4672 for him. 21And the LORDH3068 GodH430 causedH430 a deepH8639 sleepH3462 to fallH5307 uponH5921 the manH120, and he sleptH3462; and he tookH3947 one of his ribsH6763, and closedH5462 upH5921 the fleshH1320 insteadH8478 thereof: 22and the ribH6763, whichH834 the LORDH3068 GodH430 had takenH3947 from the manH120, madeH834 he a womanH802, and broughtH935 herH413 unto the manH120. 23And the manH376 saidH559, This is nowH6471 boneH6106 of my bonesH6106, and fleshH1320 of my fleshH1320: sheH3588 shall be calledH7121 WomanH802, becauseH3588 sheH3588 was takenH3947 outH376 of ManH376. 24Therefore shall a manH376 leaveH5800 his fatherH1 and his motherH517, and shall cleave unto his wifeH802: and they shall be one fleshH1320. 25And they were bothH8147 nakedH6174, the manH120 and his wifeH802, and were notH3808 ashamedH954.
