Genesis 2:21-22

Context
2:21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep,¹ and while he was asleep,² he took part of the man’s side³ and closed up the place with flesh.⁴ 2:22 Then the Lord God made⁵ a woman from the part he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

¹tn Heb “And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man.”

²tn Heb “and he slept.” In the sequence the verb may be subordinated to the following verb to indicate a temporal clause (“while…”).

³tn Traditionally translated “rib,” the Hebrew word actually means “side.” The Hebrew text reads, “and he took one from his sides,” which could be rendered “part of his sides.” That idea may fit better the explanation by the man that the woman is his flesh and bone.

⁴tn Heb “closed up the flesh under it.”

⁵tn The Hebrew verb is בָּנָה (banah, “to make, to build, to construct”). The text states that the Lord God built the rib into a woman. Again, the passage gives no indication of precisely how this was done.
