For Adam was first formed, then Chavah.
God created man in his own image. In God's image he created him; male and female he created them.
The LORD God said, *It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.*
He made the rib, which the LORD God had taken from the man, into a woman, and brought her to the man.
The LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
To the woman he said, *I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. In pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.*
The man called his wife Chavah, because she was the mother of all living.
