21 So the Lord God made him fall into a deep sleep, and he took out one of the man's ribs. Then after closing the man's side,

22 the Lord made a woman out of the rib. The Lord God brought her to the man,

23 and the man exclaimed, “Here is someone like me! She is part of my body, my own flesh and bones. She came from me, a man. So I will name her Woman!”

24 That's why a man will leave his own father and mother. He marries a woman, and the two of them become like one person.

25 Although the man and his wife were both naked, they were not ashamed.
