Genesis 2:18-20
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
18 The Lord God said: It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suited to him.[a](A) 19 So the Lord God formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds of the air, and he brought them to the man to see what he would call them; whatever the man called each living creature was then its name. 20 The man gave names to all the tame animals, all the birds of the air, and all the wild animals; but none proved to be a helper suited to the man.
