Context Reading
17but you shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.” 18Yahweh God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable tohim.” 19Out of the ground Yahweh God formed every animal of the field, and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called every living creature became its name. 20The man gave names to all livestock, and to the birds of the sky, and to every animal of the field; but for man there was not found a helper comparable to him. 21Yahweh God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. As the man slept, he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
