Then the Lord God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone; ^(s)I will make him a helper ^[o]suitable for him."

^(t)Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the ^[p]sky, and ^(u)brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name.

The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the ^[q]sky, and to every beast of the field, but for ^[r]Adam there was not found ^(v)a helper ^[s]suitable for him.

So the Lord God caused a ^(w)deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place.

The Lord God ^[t]fashioned into a woman ^(x)the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.

The man said, "^(y)This is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; ^[u]She shall be called ^[v]Woman, Because ^[w]she was taken out of ^[x]Man."

^(z)For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.

^(aa)And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.
