Génesis 2:18-25

Listen to Génesis 2:18-25
18 Luego Dios el SEÑOR dijo: «No es bueno que el hombre esté solo. Voy a hacerle una ayuda adecuada».
19 Entonces Dios el SEÑOR formó de la tierra toda ave del cielo y todo animal del campo, y se los llevó al hombre para ver qué nombre les pondría. El hombre les puso nombre a todos los seres vivos, y con ese nombre se les conoce.
20 Así el hombre fue poniéndoles nombre a todos los animales domésticos, a todas las aves del cielo y a todos los animales del campo. Sin embargo, no se encontró entre ellos la ayuda adecuada para el hombre.
21 Entonces Dios el SEÑOR hizo que el hombre cayera en un sueño profundo y, mientras este dormía, le sacó una costilla y le cerró la herida.
22 De la costilla que le había quitado al hombre, Dios el SEÑOR hizo una mujer y se la presentó al hombre,
23 el cual exclamó:«Esta sí es hueso de mis huesosy carne de mi carne.Se llamará “mujer”[a]porque del hombre fue sacada».
24 Por eso el hombre deja a su padre y a su madre, y se une a su mujer, y los dos se funden en un solo ser.[b]
25 En ese tiempo el hombre y la mujer estaban desnudos, pero ninguno de los dos sentĂ­a vergĂĽenza.
