20 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it;

22 For in the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

23 And I, the Lord God, said unto mine Only Begotten, that it was not good that the man should be alone;

24 Wherefore, I will make an help meet for him.

25 And out of the ground, I the Lord God, formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and commanded that they should come unto Adam, to see what he would call them.

26 And they were also living souls; for I, God, breathed into them the breath of life, and commanded that whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that should be the name thereof.

27 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but as for Adam, there was not found an help meet for him.

28 And I, the Lord God, caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept, and I took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in the stead thereof; and the rib, which I, the Lord God had taken from man, made I a woman, and brought her unto the man.

29 And Adam said, This I know now is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man.

30 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife; and they shall be one flesh.
