Genesis 2:18-24

18Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; aI will make him a helper fit for
Or corresponding to; also verse 20
him.”
19 cNow out of the ground the Lord God had formed
Or And out of the ground the Lord God formed
every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and ebrought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.
20The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam
Or the man
there was not found a helper fit for him.
21So the Lord God caused a gdeep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. 22And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made
Hebrew built
into a woman and brought her to the man.
23Then the man said,

This at last is ibone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called Woman,
because she was jtaken out of Man.”
The Hebrew words for  woman (ishshah) and  man (ish) sound alike

24 lTherefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
