Genesis 2:21-23

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

²¹So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then he took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. ²²And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. ²³Then the man said,

‘This at last is bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
this one shall be called Woman,^[a]
for out of Man^[b] this one was taken.’
