^7 (A) The Lord God took some soil from the ground and made a man.^[a] God breathed life into the man, and the man started breathing.

^19-20 So the Lord took some soil and made animals and birds. He brought them to the man to see what names he would give each of them. Then the man named the tame animals and the birds and the wild animals. That's how they got their names.

None of these was the right kind of partner for the man.
