Genesis 2:15-19
New King James Version
15 Then the Lord God took [a]the man and put him in the garden of Eden to [b]tend and keep it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (A)you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it (B)you[c] shall surely (C)die.”
18 And the Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; (D)I will make him a helper comparable to him.” 19 (E)Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and (F)brought them to [d]Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name.
