21 E o SENHOR Deus fez cair sonho sobre Adão, e ele adormeceu: então tomou uma de suas costelas, e fechou a carne em seu lugar;

22 E da costela que o SENHOR Deus tomou do homem, fez uma mulher, e trouxe-a ao homem.

23 E disse Adão: Esta é agora osso de meus ossos, e carne de minha carne: esta será chamada Mulher, porque do homem foi tomada.

24 Portanto, deixará o homem a seu pai e a sua mãe, e se achegará à sua mulher, e serão uma só carne.

25 E estavam ambos nus, Adão e sua mulher, e não se envergonhavam.
