002:018 Yahweh God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone;
I will make him a helper suitable for him."
002:019 Out 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, that was its name.
002:020 The 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 suitable for him.
002:021 Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept;
and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh
in its place.
002:022 He made the rib, which Yahweh God had taken from the man,
into a woman, and brought her to the man.
002:023 The man said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh.
She will be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."
002:024 Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother,
and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.
002:025 They were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
003:001 Now the serpent was more subtle than any animal of the field
which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, "Has God
really said, 'You shall not eat of any tree of the garden?'"
003:002 The woman said to the serpent, "Of the fruit of the trees
of the garden we may eat,
003:003 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden,
God has said, 'You shall not eat of it, neither shall you
touch it, lest you die.'"
003:004 The serpent said to the woman, "You won't surely die,
003:005 for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened,
and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."
