2:20	Third Reading The man named every livestock animal and bird of the sky, as well as all the wild beasts. But the man did not find a helper who was compatible for him. Vayikra ha'adam shemot lechol-habehemah ule'of hashamayim ulechol chayat hasadeh ule-Adam lo-matsa ezer kenegdo.
2:21	God then made the man fall into a deep state of unconsciousness, and he slept. He took one of his ribs and closed the flesh in its place. Vayapel Adonay Elohim tardemah al-ha'adam vayishan vayikach achat mitsal'otav vayisgor basar tachtenah.
