18 Also the Lorde God saide, It is not good that the man should be himself alone: I wil make him an helpe meete for him. 19 So the Lorde God formed of the earth euery beast of the fielde, and euery foule of the heauen, and brought them vnto the man to see howe he would call them: for howsoeuer the man named the liuing creature, so was the name thereof. 20 The man therefore gaue names vnto all cattell, and to the foule of the heauen, and to euery beast of the fielde: but for Adam founde he not an helpe meete for him. 21 Therefore the Lord God caused an heauie sleepe to fall vpon the man, and he slept: and he tooke one of his ribbes, & closed vp the flesh in steade thereof. 22 And the ribbe which the Lorde God had taken from the man, made he a woman, and brought her to the man. 23 Then the man said, This now is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She shalbe called woman, because she was taken out of man. Genesis 2:18-23, Geneva Bible of 1587. Public domain.
