21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he was asleep, he took part of the man's side and closed up the place with flesh.

22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the part he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

23 Then the man said, |This one at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one will be called 'woman,' for she was taken out of man.|

24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and unites with his wife, and they become a new family.

25 The man and his wife were both naked, but they were not ashamed.
