(B)At last this is bone of my bones,
And flesh of my flesh;
[b]She shall be called [c]‘woman,’
Because [d]she was taken out of [e]man.”

24 (C)For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. 25 (D)And the man and his wife were both naked, but they were not ashamed.
