So Yahweh God made the man fall into a deep sleep, and while he slept, he took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place.
In context
19So out of the ground Yahweh God formed every wild animal and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; whatever the man called each living creature, that became its name. 20The man named all the livestock, the birds of the sky, and the wild animals; but for the man himself no helper, no counterpart, was found. 21So Yahweh God made the man fall into a deep sleep, and while he slept, he took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. 22Then Yahweh God built the rib he had taken from the man into a woman, and brought her to the man. 23The man said, “This one at last is bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh; she will be called woman, for she was taken out of man.”
