Genesis 2:20-25 Common English Bible (CEB)

20. The human named all the livestock, all the birds in the sky, and all the wild animals. But a helper perfect for him was nowhere to be found.

21. So the Lord God put the human into a deep and heavy sleep, and took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh over it.

22. With the rib taken from the human, the Lord God fashioned a woman and brought her to the human being.

23. The human said,"This one finally is bone from my bonesand flesh from my flesh.She will be called a womanbecause from a man she was taken."

24. This is the reason that a man leaves his father and mother and embraces his wife, and they become one flesh.

25. The two of them were naked, the man and his wife, but they weren’t embarrassed.
