18 Then the Lord God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper corresponding 2:18 Pr 31:11–12; 1Co 11:9; 1Tm 2:13 to him." 20 The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the sky, and to every wild animal; but for the man 2:20 Or for Adam no helper was found corresponding to him. 21 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to come over the man, 2:21 Gn 15:12 and he slept. God took one of his ribs and closed the flesh at that place. 22 Then the Lord God made the rib he had taken from the man into a woman and brought her to the man. 2:22 1Co 11:8,1223 And the man said:
This one, at last, is bone of my bone
and flesh of my flesh;
this one will be called "woman,"
for she was taken from man. 2:23 Eph 5:28–30
