| <sup>21 </sup>And the LORD God caused '''a deep sleep''' to fall upon '''[["adam" the common noun|Adam]]''', and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
| |
| <sup>22 </sup>And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, [[Created, formed and made|made]] he a [["adam" the common noun|woman]], and brought her unto the man. <sup>23 </sup>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.

| |
| <sup>21 </sup>So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he was asleep, he took part of the man’s side and closed up the place with flesh. <sup>22 </sup>Then the LORD God made a woman from the part he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

| <blockquote>
| |
| <sup>21 </sup>And the LORD God cast a deep slumber on the human, and he slept, and He took on of his ribs and closed over the flesh where it had been, and the LORD God built the rib He had taken from the human into a woman and He brought her to the human.
| |
| <blockquote>[footnote] ''built.'' Though this may seem an odd term for the creation of woman, it complements the potter's term, "fashion," used for the creation of the first human, and is more appropriate because the LORD is now working with hard material, not soft clay. As Nahum Sarna has observed, the Hebrew for "rib," ''tselaˋ'', is also used elsewhere to designate an architectual element.</blockquote>
