Genesis 2:19-21

The Voice

¹⁹ So out of the same ground the man was made from, the Eternal God sculpted every sort of animal and every kind of bird that flies up in the sky. Then He brought them to the man and gave him the authority to name each creature as he saw fit: whatever he decided to call it, that became its name. ²⁰ Thus the man chose names for domesticated animals, birds, and wild beasts. But none of these creatures was a right and proper partner for Adam.

²¹ So the Eternal God put him into a deep sleep, removed a rib from his side, and closed the flesh around the opening.
