18 Then Yahweh God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; aI will make him a helper suitable for him.” 19 aAnd out of the ground Yahweh God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and He bbrought each to the man to see what he would call it; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name. 20 And the man gave names to all the cattle and to the birds of the sky and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found aa helper suitable for him. 21 So Yahweh God caused a adeep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. 22 And Yahweh God fashioned athe rib, which He had taken from the man, into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23 Then the man said,
“aThis one finally is bone of my bones,
And flesh of my flesh;
This one shall be called Woman,
Because this one was taken out of Man.”
24 aTherefore a man shall leave his father and his mother, and cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. 25 aAnd the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.
