⁷ Then the Lord God formed the man out of the dust from the ground^(A) and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils,^(B) and the man became a living being.^(C)

²² Then the Lord God made the rib he had taken from the man into a woman and brought her to the man.^(A)

¹⁶ He said to the woman:

⁸ For man did not come from woman, but woman came from man.^{(A) 9} Neither was man created for the sake of woman, but woman for the sake of man. ¹⁰ This is why a woman should have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. ¹¹ In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, and man is not independent of woman. ¹² For just as woman came from man, so man comes through woman, and all things come from God.^(B)
