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. 23 Then the man said,

(C)At last this is bone of my bones,
And flesh of my flesh;
[b]She shall be called [c]‘woman,’
Because [d]she was taken out of [e]man.”

13 And this is [a]another thing you do: you cover the altar of the Lord with tears, with weeping and sighing, because He (A)no longer gives attention to the [b]offering or accepts it with favor from your hand. 14 Yet you say, “For what reason?” Because the Lord has been a witness between you and the (B)wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt (C)treacherously, though she is your marriage companion and your wife by covenant. 15 [c]But not one has (D)done so who has a remnant of the Spirit. And [d]why the one? He was seeking a (E)godly offspring. Be careful then about your spirit, and see that none of you deals (F)treacherously against the wife of your youth.
