Genesis 2:18-23 ▼

18 And YHWH God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make for him a helper as his counterpart.”

19 And YHWH God formed from the ground every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens, and He brought them to the man to see what he would call it. And whatever the man called it—each living soul—that was its name.

20 And the man called names to all the livestock, and to the bird of the heavens, and to every beast of the field. And for the man there was not found a helper as his counterpart.

21 And YHWH God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept, and He took one from his sides, and He closed up the flesh in its place.

22 And YHWH God built the side—which He had taken from the man—into a woman, and He brought her to the man.

23 And the man said, “This at last is bone from my bones and flesh from my flesh; for this shall be called ‘Woman,’ because out of Man this was taken.”
