Genesis 2:20 in Context — Genesis 2
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.
21 Y Jehová Dios hizo caer sueño sobre Adam, y se quedó dormido: entonces tomó una de sus costillas, y cerró la carne en su lugar;
22 Y de la costilla que Jehová Dios tomó del hombre, hizo una mujer, y trájola al hombre.
