21 Then the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and took one of his ribs and closed up the place from which he had removed it,

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.

25 Now although the man and his wife were both naked, neither of them was embarrassed or ashamed.
