Genesis 2:23

The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called ‘ 'ishah ·wife woman·,’ because she was taken out of 'ish ·husband man·.” + 2:23 With Hebrew inserted: “(v22) Yahweh God fashioned an 'ishah ·wife woman· from the rib which had taken from the 'adam ·man·, and brought her to the 'adam. (v23) The man said, ‘This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called “ 'ishah ·wife woman·,” because she was taken out of 'ish ·husband man·.’” + 2:23 Adam [Human, Red earth] makes an astounding statement, repeating what God had said. It takes an 'ishah ·wife woman· to make an 'adam ·male, human· into a 'ish ·husband man·.
