Genesis 2:19-21
Lexham English Bible
19 And out of the ground Yahweh God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky,[a] and he brought each to the man[b] to see what he would call it. And whatever the man[c] called that living creature was its name. 20 And the man[d] gave names[e] to every domesticated animal and to the birds of heaven[f] and to all the wild animals.[g] But for the man there was not found a helper as his counterpart.[h] 21 And Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man.[i] While[j] he slept, he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh where it had been.[k]
