Genesis 2:22-24
Living Bible
22 and made the rib into a woman, and brought her to the man.
23 “This is it!” Adam exclaimed. “She is part of my own bone and flesh! Her name is ‘woman’ because she was taken out of a man.” 24 This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife in such a way that the two become one person.[a]

Genesis 2:22-24
New International Version
22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib[a](A) he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
23 The man said,
“This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;(B)
she shall be called(C) ‘woman,’
for she was taken out of man.(D)”
24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united(E) to his wife, and they become one flesh.(F)
