Genesis 2:21-25

English Standard Version

²¹So the Lord God caused a ^(A)deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept 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^[a] into a woman and brought her to the man. ²³Then the man said,

“This at last is ^(B)bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called Woman,
because she was ^(C)taken out of Man.”^[b]

²⁴^(D)Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. ²⁵And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.
