| And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he rested from all his work of creation. | God blessed the seventh day and he consecrated it, for on it he rested from all the work he had done when he created all things. |
| Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.” | And the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I wish to make another creature who will be like him.” |
| Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib, and he brought her to the man. “At last!” the man exclaimed. “This one is bone from my bone, and flesh from my flesh! She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was taken from ‘man.’” This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one. | The Lord God then formed a woman out of the rib that he had taken from the man. He brought her before the man. The man said, “This one is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh.
