Genesis 2:24

The First Woman

²³ and the man saith, 'This is the proper step! bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh!' for this it is called Woman, for from a man hath this been taken; ²⁴ therefore doth a man leave his father and his mother, and hath cleaved unto his wife, and they have become one flesh. ²⁵ And they are both of them naked, the man and his wife, and they are not ashamed of themselves.
