“God brought the woman to the man. And both will become one »
"from the book of Genesis (2, 18-25)
The Lord God said, “It is not good that a man is alone. I will give him a helper that will suit him. With earth, the Lord God molded all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air, and he brought them to man to see what names he would give them. They were living things, and the man named each one. The man therefore gave their names to all the animals, to the birds of the air and to all the beasts of the field. But he couldn't find any suitable help. Then the Lord God caused a mysterious sleep to fall on him, and the man fell asleep. The Lord God took one of his ribs, then he closed the flesh in its place. With the rib he had taken from the man, he fashioned a woman and brought her to the man. The man then said: "This time, here is the bone of my bones and the flesh of my flesh!" She will be called woman - Ishsha - she who was taken from man - Ish. Because of this, the man will leave his father and his mother, he will become attached to his wife, and the two will become one.
Both the man and his wife were naked, and they felt no shame in each other.
The Word of the Lord
