Genesis 2:21-24
New American Standard Bible
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.”
24 (D)For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.

New International Version
21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep;(A) and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs[a] and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib[b](B) he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
23 The man said,
“This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;(C)
she shall be called(D) ‘woman,’
for she was taken out of man.(E)”
24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united(F) to his wife, and they become one flesh.(G)
