21	And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam; and while he slept, He took one of his ribs or a part of his side and closed up the [place with] flesh.

22	And the rib or part of his side which the Lord God had taken from the man He built up and made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.

25	And the man and his wife were both naked and were not embarrassed or ashamed in each other's presence.
