Så lot Herren Gud det komme en dyp søvn over Adam. Mens han sov, tok Gud ut ett av ribbena hans, og av dette skapte Han en kvinne. Gud ga henne til Adam. Da sa Adam: «Endelig noe kjent. Dette er bein av mine bein og kjøtt av mitt kjøtt. Hun skal kalles kvinne.»
What Does This Mean?
In Genesis 2:21, God puts Adam into a deep sleep and takes one of his ribs to create Eve. This shows God's direct involvement in the creation of the first woman from the first man.
