21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. While the man slept, the Lord God took out one of the man’s ribs[a] and closed up the opening. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib, and he brought her to the man.

    and flesh from my flesh!
She will be called ‘woman,’
    because she was taken from ‘man.’”
