Genesis 2:17-19
International Standard Version
17 but you are not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, because you will certainly die during the day that you eat from it.”
The Creation of the Woman
18 Later, the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make the woman[a] to be an authority[b] corresponding[c] to him.” 19 After the Lord God formed from the ground every wild animal[d] and every bird that flies, he brought each of them[e] to the man to see what he would call it. Whatever the man called each living creature became its name.
