20 And the man[a] gave names[b] to every domesticated animal and to the birds of heaven[c] and to all the wild animals.[d] But for the man there was not found a helper as his counterpart.[e] 21 And Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man.[f] While[g] he slept, he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh where it had been.[h] 22 And Yahweh God fashioned the rib which he had taken from the man[i] into a woman and brought her to the man.[j]
