Genesis 2:19-21
Tree of Life Version
19 Adonai Elohim had formed from the ground every animal of the field and every flying creature of the sky, so He brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called them—each living creature—that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all of the livestock, and to the flying creatures of the sky, and to all the animals of the field; but for the man He did not find a well-matched helper for him. 21 Adonai Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall on the man and he slept; and He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh in its place.

New International Version
19 Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals(A) and all the birds in the sky.(B) He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called(C) each living creature,(D) that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals.
But for Adam[a] no suitable helper(E) was found. 21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep;(F) and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs[b] and then closed up the place with flesh.
