²⁷ So God created man ^(A)in His own image; in the image of God He created him; ^(B)male and female He created them.

² He created them ^(A)male and female, and ^(B)blessed them and called them Mankind in the day they were created.

²⁰ So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him.

²¹ And the Lord God caused a ^(A)deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. ²² Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He ^[a]made into a woman, ^(B)and He ^(C)brought her to the man.

²³ And Adam said:

^24 (F)Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and ^(G)be^[d] joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

^25 (H)And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ^(I)ashamed.
