فاوقع الرب الاله سباتا على ادم فنام فاخذ واحدة من اضلاعه
وملا مكانها لحما.
وبنى الرب الاله الضلع التي اخذها من ادم امراة
واحضرها الى ادم. فقال ادم:
«هذه الان عظم من عظامي ولحم من لحمي.
هذه تدعى امراة لانها من امرء اخذت».
لذلك يترك الرجل اباه وامه ويلتصق بامراته
ويكونان جسدا واحدا.
التكوين 2: 21-24
And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
