Genesis 2:21-25
Christian Standard Bible
21 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to come over the man,(A) 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.(B) 23 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.(C)
24 This is why a man leaves his father and mother and bonds with his wife, and they become one flesh.(D) 25 Both the man and his wife were naked, yet felt no shame.
