20 So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him.
21 And the Lord God caused a adeep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
22 Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He1 made into a woman, aand He bbrought her to the man.
23 And Adam said:
“This is now abone of my bones
And flesh of my flesh;
She shall be called1 Woman,
Because she was btaken out of Man.”
“This is now abone of my bones
And flesh of my flesh;
She shall be called1 Woman,
Because she was btaken out of Man.”
24 aTherefore a man shall leave his father and mother and bbe joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
