Genesis 2:18-24
Lexham English Bible

18 Then[a] Yahweh God said, “it is not good that the man[b] is alone. I will make for him a helper as his counterpart.”[c] 19 And out of the ground Yahweh God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky,[d] and he brought each to the man[e] to see what he would call it. And whatever the man[f] called that living creature was its name. 20 And the man[g] gave names[h] to every domesticated animal and to the birds of heaven[i] and to all the wild animals.[j] But for the man there was not found a helper as his counterpart.[k] 21 And Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man.[l] While[m] he slept, he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh where it had been.[n] 22 And Yahweh God fashioned the rib which he had taken from the man[o] into a woman and brought her to the man.[p] 23 And the man[q] said,

“She is now[r] bone from my bones
    and flesh from my flesh;
she[s] shall be called ‘Woman,’
    for she was taken[t] from man.”

24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall cling to his wife, and they shall be as one flesh.
