Genesis 2:22 in Context — Genesis 2

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.

23 Et l’homme dit: Voici cette fois celle qui est os de mes os et chair de ma chair! On l’appellera femme, parce qu’elle a été prise de l’homme.

24 C’est pourquoi l’homme quittera son père et sa mère, et s’attachera à sa femme, et ils deviendront une seule chair.
