20 The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam1 there was not found a helper fit for him. 21 So the Lord God caused a qdeep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. 22 And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made2 into a woman and brought her to the man. 23 Then the man said,
“This at last is rbone of my bones
because she was staken out of Man.”3
24 tTherefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. 25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.
1 The Song of aSongs, which is Solomon's.
2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth!
For your blove is better than wine;
3 your canointing oils are fragrant;
your dname is oil poured out;
4 eDraw me after you; flet us run.
gThe king has brought me into his chambers.
We will hexult and rejoice in you;
we will extol byour love more than wine;
5 I am very dark, but ilovely,
O jdaughters of Jerusalem,
6 Do not gaze at me because I am dark,
because the sun has looked upon me.
My mmother's sons were angry with me;
they made me nkeeper of othe vineyards,
but pmy own vineyard I have not kept!
7 Tell me, you qwhom my soul loves,
where you rpasture your flock,
where you make it slie down at noon;
for why should I be like one who veils herself
beside the flocks of your tcompanions?
O umost beautiful among women,
follow in the tracks of the flock,
9 I compare you, vmy love,
to wa mare among Pharaoh's chariots.
10 xYour cheeks are lovely with ornaments,
your neck with strings of jewels.
11 We will make for you2 ornaments of gold,
12 While ythe king was on his couch,
my znard gave forth its fragrance.
13 My beloved is to me a sachet of amyrrh
14 My beloved is to me a cluster of bhenna blossoms
in the vineyards of cEngedi.
15 dBehold, eyou are beautiful, fmy love;
your geyes are doves.
16 Behold, you are beautiful, hmy beloved, truly idelightful.
17 the beams of our house are jcedar;
our rafters are jpine.
