Genesis 2:20-22

New International Reader's Version

²⁰ So the man gave names to all the livestock, all the birds in the sky, and all the wild animals.

But Adam didn’t find a helper that was just right for him. ²¹ So the Lord God caused him to fall into a deep sleep. While the man was sleeping, the Lord God took out one of the man’s ribs. Then the Lord God closed the opening in the man’s side. ²² Then the Lord God made a woman. He made her from the rib he had taken out of the man. And the Lord God brought her to the man.
