Genesis 2:19-21

This is my translation from the Hebrew text.

Then Yahweh God formed from the ground every animal of the field and every fowl of the sky. Then He caused them to come to the man to see what he would proclaim to them, and whatever the man would proclaim each living animal, it would be its name. Then the man proclaimed names to all the cattle and to birds of the sky and to every living thing of the field, but for man there was never found a help corresponding to him. Then Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man. Then he slept. Next He took one of his ribs. Then He closed the flesh in the parts beneath.
