Genesis 2:24 in Context — Genesis 2
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.
25 L’homme et sa femme étaient tous deux nus, et ils n’en avaient point honte.
