Genesis 2:23 in Context — Genesis 2
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.
23 Y dijo Adam: Esto es ahora hueso de mis huesos, y carne de mi carne: ésta será llamada Varona, porque del varón fué tomada.
24 Por tanto, dejará el hombre á su padre y á su madre, y allegarse ha á su mujer, y serán una sola carne.
25 Y estaban ambos desnudos, Adam y su mujer, y no se avergonzaban.
