Genesis 2:18 in Context — Genesis 2
16 Y mandó Jehová Dios al hombre, diciendo: De todo árbol del huerto comerás;
17 Mas del árbol de ciencia del bien y del mal no comerás de él; porque el día que de él comieres, morirás.
18 Y dijo Jehová Dios: No es bueno que el hombre esté solo; haréle ayuda idónea para él.
19 Formó, pues, Jehová Dios de la tierra toda bestia del campo, y toda ave de los cielos, y trájolas á Adam, para que viese cómo les había de llamar; y todo lo que Adam llamó á los animales vivientes, ese es su nombre.
20 Y puso Adam nombres á toda bestia y ave de los cielos y á todo animal del campo: mas para Adam no halló ayuda que [estuviese] idónea para él.
