⁷ Then the Lord God formed the man of ^(A)dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the ^(B)man became a living ^[a]person.

¹⁸ Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; ^(A)I will make him a helper ^[a]suitable for him.”

²¹ So the Lord God caused a ^(A)deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. ²² And the Lord God ^[a]fashioned into a woman ^(B)the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.
