Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Genesis 2
¹⁶ The Lord God commanded the man, saying, "From any tree of the garden you may eat freely;
¹⁷ but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die."
¹⁸ Then the Lord God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him."
¹⁹ Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name.
²⁰ The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him.
²¹ So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place.
²² The Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.
²³ The man said, "This is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man."
²⁴ For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.
²⁵ And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.
Genesis 3
¹ Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, "Indeed, has God said, ’You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?"
