15. Then the Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to cultivate it and guard it.
16. He said to him, “You may eat the fruit of any tree in the garden,
17. except the tree that gives knowledge of what is good and what is bad. You must not eat the fruit of that tree; if you do, you will die the same day.”
18. Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to live alone. I will make a suitable companion to help him.”
19. So he took some soil from the ground and formed all the animals and all the birds. Then he brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and that is how they all got their names.
20. So the man named all the birds and all the animals; but not one of them was a suitable companion to help him.
21. Then the Lord God made the man fall into a deep sleep, and while he was sleeping, he took out one of the man's ribs and closed up the flesh.

23. Then the man said,“At last, here is one of my own kind —Bone taken from my bone, and flesh from my flesh.‘Woman’ is her name because she was taken out of man.”
24. That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united with his wife, and they become one.
25. The man and the woman were both naked, but they were not embarrassed.
