Gen 2:11The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one that [fn]went around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.

Gen 2:16And Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may surely eat;

Gen 2:18

Then Yahweh^H3068 God^H430 said^H559, “It is not good^H2896 for the man^H120 to be alone^H905; I will make^H6213 him a helper^H5828 [fn]suitable^H5048 for him.”

Gen 2:19

Gen 2:19And out of the ground Yahweh God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the [fn]sky, and He brought each to the man to see what he would call it; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name.

Gen 2:20

Gen 2:20And the man gave names to all the cattle and to the birds of the [fn]sky and to every beast of the field; but for [fn]Adam there was not found a helper [fn]suitable for him.

Gen 2:22And Yahweh God [fn]fashioned the rib, which He had taken from the man, into a woman, and He brought her to the man.

“This^H2088 one^H2088 finally^H6471 is bone^H6106 of my bones^H6106,

And flesh^H1320 of my flesh^H1320;

This^H2088 one^H2088 shall be called^H7121 [fn]Woman^H802,

Because^H3588 this^H2088 one^H2088 was taken^H3947 out of [fn]Man^H376.”
