And Adam said, this is now bone of my bones, and
flesh
of my flesh
Of "his bones", because made out of a pair of his ribs, as some
think, one on each side, and therefore expressed in the plural
number, "and of his flesh", a part of which was taken with the
rib; this Adam knew, either being awake while she was made,
though asleep when the rib was taken out; or by divine
revelation, by an impress of it on his mind; or it might have
been declared to him in a dream, while asleep, when, being in an
ecstasy or trance, this whole affair was represented unto him:
and this was "now" done, just done, and would be done no more in
like manner; "this time" F15, this once, as many render it; so
it was, but hereafter the woman was to be produced in the way of
generation, as man: she shall be called woman, because she
was taken out of man:
her name was "Ishah", because taken from "Ish", as "vira" in
Latin from "vir", and "woman" in our language from "man".
