she shall be called Woman,
because she was ^(B)taken out of Man.”^[b]

New International Version

²²Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib^[a]^(A) he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

²³The man said,

“This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;^(B)
she shall be called^(C) ‘woman,’
for she was taken out of man.^(D)”

²⁴That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united^(E) to his wife, and they become one flesh.^(F)
