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]
