18 And the LORD GOD faid, It is not good that the Man fhould be alone: I will make him an help meet for him.

19 And out of the Ground the LORD GOD formed every Beaft of the Field, and every Fowl of the Air, and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them and whatfoever Adam called every living Creature, that was the Name thereof.

21 And the LORD GOD caufed a deep Sleep to fall upon Adam, and he flept: and he took one of his Ribs, and clofed up the Flesh in ftead thereof.

22 And the Rib, which the LORDGOD had taken from Man, made he a Woman, and brought her to the Man.
