Genesis 2:21-25

New International Version

²¹So 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. ²²Then 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.

²³The 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)”

²⁴That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united^(F) to his wife, and they become one flesh.^(G)

²⁵Adam and his wife were both naked,^(H) and they felt no shame.
