Genesis 2:23-25
New King James Version
23 And Adam said:
“This is now (A)bone of my bones
And flesh of my flesh;
She shall be called [a]Woman,
Because she was (B)taken out of [b]Man.”
24 (C)Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and (D)be[c] joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
25 (E)And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not (F)ashamed.

Genesis 2:23-25
Young's Literal Translation
23 and the man saith, `This [is] the [proper] step! bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh!' for this it is called Woman, for from a man hath this been taken;
24 therefore doth a man leave his father and his mother, and hath cleaved unto his wife, and they have become one flesh.
25 And they are both of them naked, the man and his wife, and they are not ashamed of themselves.
