Génesis 2:20 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 2:20

And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowls of
the air, and to every beast of the field
As they came before him, and passed by him, paying as it were their homage to him, their lord and owner: but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him;
and perhaps this might be one reason of their being brought unto him, that he might become sensible that there was none among all the creatures of his nature, and that was fit to be a companion of his; and to him must this be referred, and not to God; not as if God looked out an help meet for him among the creatures, and could find none; but, as Aben Ezra observes, man could not find one for himself; and this made it the more grateful and acceptable to him, when God had formed the woman of him, and presented her before him.

Génesis 2:20 In-Context

18 Y dijo el SE脩OR Dios: No es bueno que el hombre est茅 solo; le har茅 ayuda que est茅 delante de 茅l.
19 Form贸, pues, el SE脩OR Dios de la tierra toda bestia del campo, y toda ave de los cielos, y las trajo a Ad谩n, para que viese c贸mo les hab铆a de llamar; y todo lo que Ad谩n llam贸 al alma viviente, es ese su nombre.
20 Y puso Ad谩n nombres a toda bestia y ave de los cielos, y a todo animal del campo; mas para Ad谩n no hall贸 ayuda que estuviese delante de 茅l.
21 Y el SE脩OR Dios hizo caer sue帽o sobre el hombre, y se adormeci贸; entonces tom贸 una de sus costillas, y cerr贸 la carne en su lugar;
22 y edific贸 el SE脩OR Dios la costilla que tom贸 del hombre, en mujer, y la trajo al hombre.
