18 And YHWH God says, "[It is] not good for the man to be alone; I make him a helper as his counterpart." 19 And YHWH God forms from the ground every beast of the field, and every bird of the heavens, and brings [them] to the man, to see what he calls it; and whatever the man calls a living creature, that [is] its name. 20 And the man calls names to all the livestock, and to bird of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but for man a helper has not been found as his counterpart. 21 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. 22 And YHWH God builds up the rib which He has taken out of the man into a woman, and brings her to the man; 23 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; 24 therefore a man leaves his father and his mother, and has cleaved to his wife, and they have become one flesh.
