Genesis 2:19-21

New American Standard Bible 1995

^19 (A)Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the ^[a]sky, and ^(B)brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name. ²⁰ The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the ^[b]sky, and to every beast of the field, but for ^[c]Adam there was not found ^(C)a helper ^[d]suitable for him. ²¹ So the Lord God caused a ^(D)deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place.
