¹⁵ Then the LORD God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it. ¹⁶ The LORD God commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; ¹⁷ but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall notⁿ Lit eat from iteat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.”	16 Gen 3:2 Gen 3:3 17 Deu 30:15 Deu 30:19 Deu 30:20 Rom 6:23 Ti1 5:6 Jam 1:15
¹⁸ Then the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper^o Lit corresponding tosuitable for him.” ¹⁹ Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the^p Lit heavenssky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name. ²⁰ The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the^q Lit heavenssky, and to every beast of the field, but for^r Or manAdam there was not found a helper^s Lit corresponding tosuitable for him. ²¹ So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. ²² The LORD God^t Lit builtfashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. ²³ The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; ^u Lit This oneShe shall be called^v Heb IshshahWoman, Because^w Lit This oneshe was taken out of^x Heb IshMan.”	18 Co1 11:9 19 Gen 1:24 Gen 1:26 20 Gen 2:18 21 Gen 15:12 22 Co1 11:8 Co1 11:9 23 Gen 29:14 Eph 5:28 Eph 5:29
