18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help suitable for him.

21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof.22 And the Lord God formed the rib which he had taken from the man into a woman, and brought her unto the man.23 And the man said, This time it is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; this shall be called Woman, Ishah, because out of Man Ishi was this one taken.24 Therefore doth a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave unto his wife, and they become one flesh.

24 Therefore doth a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave unto his wife, and they become one flesh.25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

24 Therefore doth a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave unto his wife, and they become one flesh.

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and they shall have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.27 And God created man in his image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

1 And the man knew Eve his wife: and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord.25 And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son, and called his name Sheth Seth; for God said she hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.

14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.

17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors house. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbors.

22 Whoso hath found a wife hath found happiness, and hath obtained favor from the Lord.

22 Whoso hath found a wife hath found happiness, and hath obtained favor from the Lord.

22 Whoso hath found a wife hath found happiness, and hath obtained favor from the Lord.

14 House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers; but from the Lord cometh an intelligent wife.

18 Thy fountain will be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth,19 The lovely gazelle and the graceful chamois: let her bosom satisfy thee abundantly at all times; with her love be thou ravished continually.

3 For as of fine honey drop the lips of an adulterous woman, and smoother than oil is her palate;4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, it is sharp as a twoedged sword.5 Her feet go down to death, her steps take firm hold on the nether world:6 So that she cannot balance the path of life; her tracks are unsteady, and she knoweth it not.7 And now, O ye children, hearken unto me, and depart not from the sayings of my mouth.8 Remove far from her thy way, and come not nigh to the door of her house;9 That thou mayest not give up unto others thy vigor, and thy years unto the cruel;

8 Remove far from her thy way, and come not nigh to the door of her house;9 That thou mayest not give up unto others thy vigor, and thy years unto the cruel;10 That strangers may not satisfy themselves with thy strength, and with thy exertions, in the house of an alien:11 While thou moanest at thy end, when thy flesh and thy body are coming to their end,12 And thou sayest, How have I hated correction, and how hath my heart rejected reproof;13 While I hearkened not to the voice of my instructors, and to my teachers I inclined not my ear;14 But little more was wanting, and I had been in all kinds of unhappiness in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

19 The lovely gazelle and the graceful chamois: let her bosom satisfy thee abundantly at all times; with her love be thou ravished continually.20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with an adulteress, and embrace the bosom of an alien woman?

29 So it is with him that goeth in to his neighbors wife: no one that toucheth her shall remain unpunished.

32 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh sense: he that is the destroyer of his soul, will alone do this.

32 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh sense: he that is the destroyer of his soul, will alone do this.33 Plague and disgrace will he meet with; and his reproach will not be blotted out.34 For jealousy is the fury of a husband, and he will not spare on the day of vengeance.35 He will not regard the appearance of any ransom; and he will not be content, though thou give ever so many bribes.

4 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but as rottenness in his bones is one that bringeth shame on him.

9 A mans heart deviseth his way; but the Lord directeth firmly his steps.

9 It is better to dwell in a corner of a roof, than with a quarrelsome woman in a roomy house.

10 Who can find a virtuous woman: for far above pearls is her value.

15 And not one doth so who hath a remnant of a good spirit; for what desireth such a one? he seeketh to possess a godly posterity: therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none of you deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.16 For he hateth putting away the wife, so hath said the Lord the God of Israel, and him who covereth his garment with violence, so hath said the Lord of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, and deal not treacherously.

5 When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any public business: he shall be free for his house one year, and shall cheer up his wife whom he hath taken.

1 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass, that if she find no favor in his eyes, because he hath found some scandalous thing in her, he may write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her away out of his house;

13 If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,14 And he lay an accusation against her, and spread abroad an evil name upon her, and say, This woman I took for wife, and when I came near to her, I found no tokens of virginity in her:15 Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsels virginity unto the elders of the city, to the gate.16 And the father of the damsel shall say unto the elders, My daughter I gave unto this man for wife; but he hath conceived hatred toward her;17 And, lo, he hath laid an accusation against her, saying, I have found no tokens of virginity in thy daughter; and yet these are the tokens of my daughters virginity; and they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.

8 The nakedness of thy fathers wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy fathers nakedness.20 And with thy neighbors wife shalt thou not lie carnally, to defile thyself with her.

10 And if there be a man that committeth adultery with a mans wife, whoever it be that committeth adultery with his neighbors wife: then shall the adulterer be put to death, together with the adulteress.13 And if a man lie with a male, as they lie with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

7 A woman that is a harlot, or one profaned, shall they not take; and a woman put away from her husband shall they not take; for holy is he unto his God.

13 And he shall take a wife in her virgin state.14 A widow, and a divorced woman, and one profaned, and a harlot, these shall he not take; but a virgin of his own people shall he take for wife;

6 Set me as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thy arm; for strong as death is love; violent like the nether world is jealousy; its heat is the heat of fire, a flame of God.7 Many waters are not able to quench love, nor can the rivers flood it away: if a man were to give all the wealth of his house for love, men would utterly despise him.

7 Thou art altogether beautiful, my beloved, and there is no blemish on thee.

5 Thy two breasts are like two fawns, the twins of the roe, that feed among the lilies.9 Thou hast ravished my heart, O my sister, my bride; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thy eyes, with one chain of thy neck.

6 Oh that his left hand might be under my head, and that his right might embrace me.

2 Oh that he might kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; for thy caresses are more pleasant than wine.

9 Enjoy life with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which God hath given thee under the sun, yea, all the days of thy vanity; for this is thy portion in this life, and in thy toil with which thou toilest under the sun.

9 Enjoy life with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which God hath given thee under the sun, yea, all the days of thy vanity; for this is thy portion in this life, and in thy toil with which thou toilest under the sun.

9 Two are better than one; because they will have a good reward for their toil.10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to the single one that falleth; for he hath no companion to lift him up.11 Also, if two lie together, then will they become warm; but how can one person alone become warm?12 And if a man could overpower him, the single one, two would stand up against him: and a threefold cord cannot quickly be torn asunder.

14 Return, O backsliding children, saith the Lord; for I am become your husband; and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and bring you to Zion:

2 The beginning of the word of the Lord by Hosea was, that the Lord said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of prostitution and children of prostitution; for the inhabitants of the land go far astray, departing from the Lord.

2 (2:4) Contend with your mother, contend; for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband; but let her put away her prostitution from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts:

36 Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Whereas thy wealth was squandered, and thy nakedness was uncovered through thy lewd acts with thy lovers, and with all thy abominable idols, and for the blood of thy children, whom thou didst give unto them:37 Therefore, behold, I will gather all thy lovers, whom thou hast given pleasure, and all whom thou hast loved, together with all whom thou hast hated,yea, I will gather them all round about thee, and will uncover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.

17 But the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abrams wife.18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this thou hast done unto me? Why didst thou not tell me that she is thy wife?

1 Now Sarai, Abrams wife, bore him no children; and she had an Egyptian handmaid, whose name was Hagar.2 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the Lord hath restrained me from bearing: go in, I pray thee, unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.3 And Sarai, Abrams wife, took Hagar, the Egyptian, her maid, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.

10 And he said, I will certainly return unto thee at this time next year: and lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it at the door of the tent, which was behind him.11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in years; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord also being old!

9 Onan thus knew that the seed should not be his, and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brothers wife, that he spilled it on the ground, so as not to give seed unto his brother.10 And the thing which he did was displeasing in the eyes of the Lord: wherefore he slew him also.

24 And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and he went in unto her, and lay with her; and she bore a son, and called his name Solomon; and the Lord loved him.

21 But Abiyahu became strong, and he took himself fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters.

29 This is the law of jealousies, when a woman goeth aside behind her husband, and hath been defiled;30 Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh over him, and he be jealous of his wife; and he shall place the woman before the Lord, and the priest shall do unto her altogether according to this law.

1 Sing, O barren one, that thou hast not born: break forth into song, and rejoice aloud, that thou hast not travailed; for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord.

10 I will be greatly glad in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, with the mantle of righteousness hath he enveloped me, as a bridegroom decketh himself with elegant attire, and as a bride adorneth herself with her bridal array.

3 Thy wife is then as a fruitful vine in the recesses of thy house: thy children, like oliveplants round about thy table.
