Genesis 2:20 in Context — Genesis 2
18 L’Éternel Dieu dit: Il n’est pas bon que l’homme soit seul; je lui ferai une aide semblable à lui.
19 L’Éternel Dieu forma de la terre tous les animaux des champs et tous les oiseaux du ciel, et il les fit venir vers l’homme, pour voir comment il les appellerait, et afin que tout être vivant portât le nom que lui donnerait l’homme.
20 Et l’homme donna des noms à tout le bétail, aux oiseaux du ciel et à tous les animaux des champs; mais, pour l’homme, il ne trouva point d’aide semblable à lui.
21 Alors l’Éternel Dieu fit tomber un profond sommeil sur l’homme, qui s’endormit; il prit une de ses côtes, et referma la chair à sa place.
22 L’Éternel Dieu forma une femme de la côte qu’il avait prise de l’homme, et il l’amena vers l’homme.
