And YHWH God says, "[It is] not good for the man to be alone; I make him a helper as his counterpart."
And YHWH God causes a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he sleeps, and He takes one of his ribs, and closes up flesh in its stead. And YHWH God builds up the rib which He has taken out of the man into a woman, and brings her to the man; and the man says, "This at last! Bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh!" For this is called Woman, for this has been taken from Man; therefore a man leaves his father and his mother, and has cleaved to his wife, and they have become one flesh.
therefore a man leaves his father and his mother, and has cleaved to his wife, and they have become one flesh. And both of them are naked, the man and his wife, and they are not ashamed of themselves.

And God says, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over [the] fish of the sea, and over [the] bird of the heavens, and over livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth." And God creates the man in His image; in the image of God He created him, a male and a female He created them. And God blesses them, and God says to them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over [the] fish of the sea, and over [the] bird of the heavens, and over every living thing that is creeping on the earth."
And the man knew his wife Eve, and she conceives and bears Cain, and says, "I have acquired a man by YHWH"; And Adam again knows his wife, and she bears a son, and calls his name Seth, "for God has appointed for me another seed instead of Abel": for Cain had slain him.
Fidelidade conjugal
O que Deus ajuntou não separe o homem. O casamento deve ser honrado e o leito matrimonial preservado sem impureza.
So that they are no longer two, but one flesh; what therefore God joined together, let no man separate."
And He answering said to them, "Did you not read that He who made [them] from the beginning, made them a male and a female, and said, For this cause will a man leave father and mother, and cleave to his wife, and they will be—the two—for one flesh? So that they are no longer two, but one flesh; what therefore God joined together, let no man separate."
and said, For this cause will a man leave father and mother, and cleave to his wife, and they will be—the two—for one flesh? So that they are no longer two, but one flesh; what therefore God joined together, let no man separate."
And it was said that, Whoever may put away his wife, let him give to her a writing of divorce; but I say to you that whoever may put away his wife, except for the matter of whoredom, makes her to commit adultery; and whoever may marry her who has been put away commits adultery.
You heard that it was said to the ancients: You will not commit adultery; but I say to you that everyone who is looking on a woman to desire her, already committed adultery with her in his heart.
And they said, "Moses permitted to write a bill of divorce, and to put away." And Jesus answering said to them, "For the stiffness of your heart he wrote you this command, but from the beginning of the creation God made them a male and a female; on this account will a man leave his father and mother, and will cleave to his wife, and they will be—the two—for one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh; what God therefore joined together, do not let man separate."
and if a woman may put away her husband, and is married to another, she commits adultery."
The marriage [is to be] honored by all, and the bed undefiled, for God will judge whoremongers and adulterers.
