Genesis 2:20-22
International Standard Version
20 The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds that fly, and to each of earth’s animals,[a] but there was not found a strength[b] corresponding[c] to him, 21 so the Lord God caused a deep sleep to overshadow the man.
When the man[d] was asleep, he removed one of the man’s[e] ribs and closed up the flesh where it had been. 22 Then the Lord God formed the rib that he had taken from the man into a woman and brought her to the man.
