18Then Yahweh God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper corresponding to him.”

19Yahweh God formed from the ground every wild animal and every bird of the sky, and he brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.

20And the man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the sky, and to every wild animal, but for the man no helper corresponding to him was found.
