Genesis 2 4
Eve means life , living .
19 Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild an i mals and all the birds in the sky . He brought them to the man to see what he would name them ; and what ever the man called each liv ing crea ture , that was its name . 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock , the birds in the sky and all the wild an i mals .
But for Adam a no suit able helper was found . 21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep ; and while he was sleep ing , he took one of the man ’ s ribs b and then closed up the place with flesh . 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib c 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 ; she shall be called ‘ woman ,’ for she was taken out of man .”
24 That is why a man leaves his fa ther and mother and is united to his wife , and they be come one flesh .
25 Adam and his wife were both na ked , and they felt no shame .
