18 And the Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; (D)I will make him a helper comparable to him.” 19 (E)Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and (F)brought them to [b]Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name.
