GENESIS 2:18-25
18 The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone.
I will make a helper suitable for him.” 19 Now the LORD God had formed out of
the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them
to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man
called each living creature, that was its name.20 So the man gave names to
all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals. But for Adam no
suitable helper was found.

21 So the LORD caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was
sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs & then closed up the place with
flesh. 22 Then the LORD made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the
man, & brought her to the man.
23 The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she
shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.” 24 That is why a man
leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one
flesh. 25 Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.
