I will make +a helper suited to him. So the LORD God formed out of the ground +all the wild animals and all the birds of the air, and he brought them +to the man to see what he would call them; whatever the man called +each living creature was then its name. The man gave names to all +the tame animals, all the birds of the air, and all the wild animals; +but none proved to be a helper suited to the man. + +So the LORD God cast a deep sleep on the man, and while he was +asleep, he took out one of his ribs and closed up its place with +flesh. The LORD God then built the rib that he had taken from the +man into a woman. When he brought her to the man, the man said: + +“This one, at last, is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; +This one shall be called \emph{woman,} +for out of man this one has been taken.” + +That is why a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, +and the two of them become one body. |
