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 ‘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.
