And the Lord God said, It is not good
that the man should be along; I will make him a help mate
for him. And out of the group, the Lord God formed every
beast in the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought
them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever
Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
And Adam gave names to all the cattle, and to the fowl of
the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there
was not found a help mate for him. And the Lord caused a
deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took
one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
and the rib, which the Lord God has taken from the man,
made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam
said, This is now bone of my bones, and the flesh of my
flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken
out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his
mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be
one flesh.
