Jehovah God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. While he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then Jehovah made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man. He brought her to the man. The man said: This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called 'Woman.' This is because she was taken out of Man. read more.

Men » Men being the head of women

Verse Concepts
Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the congregation, he being the savior of the body.
Now I praise you, brothers, because you remember me in all things, and carefully follow the teachings (precepts) (doctrine) just as I delivered them to you. I would have you know, that the head (authority) of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. Every man who prays or prophesies having his head covered dishonors his head. read more.
But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head. She is the same as if she had her head shaved. For if the woman were not covered, let her also be shaved. But if it is a shame for a woman to have her head shaved, let her be covered. For a man should not cover his head, for he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man. For the man is not from the woman; but the woman is from the man. Neither was man created for woman but woman for man. That is why the woman should have a sign of authority on her head because of the angels. However in the Lord, both men and women exist together. Not one without the other. For as woman is from man, even so is man also from woman. But all things are from God! Judge in yourselves. Is it proper that women pray to God uncovered? Does not even nature itself teach you, that, if men have long hair, it is a shame? But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her for her hair is given her for a covering. If anyone is contentious about this we have no other practice, neither do the congregations of God.

Let a woman learn in silence with all subjection. I do not permit a woman to teach or have dominion over a man, but to remain quiet. Adam was first formed and then Eve. read more.

Women » Why women should not have authority over men
Now the serpent was craftier than any of the wild animals Jehovah God had made. He said to the woman: Did God really say, you must not eat from any tree in the garden? The woman said to the serpent: We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden. However, God did say: 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden. You must not touch it, or you will die.' read more.
You will not die, the serpent said to the woman. God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened. Then you will be like God, knowing good and evil. When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened. They realized they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. The man and his wife heard the sound (voice) of Jehovah God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day. They hid from Jehovah, among the trees of the garden. But Jehovah God called to the man: Where are you? He (Adam) answered: I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid. And he said: Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from? Adam said: The woman you put here with me gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it. Then Jehovah God said to the Eve: What is this you have done? The woman answered: The serpent deceived me, and I ate. So Jehovah God said to the serpent: Because you have done this you are cursed above all the livestock and all the wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. And I will put enmity (hostility) (hatred) between you and the woman, and between your offspring (seed) and hers. He will bruise (overwhelm) (crush) you in the head, and you will bruise (overwhelm) (crush) him in the heel. (Romans 16:20) He said to the woman: I will greatly increase your pains in childbirth; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.
