Genesis 2:19-21

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁹ Out of the soil the Lord God had formed every wild animal and every bird of the sky, and he brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called every living creature, that became its name. ²⁰ The man gave names to all the livestock, and to the birds of the sky, and to every wild animal, but for Adam^[a] no helper was found who was a suitable partner for him. ²¹ The Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. As the man slept, the Lord God took a rib^[b] and closed up the flesh where it had been.
