Adam & Eve

Genesis 1:27; 2:7-25

And G-d created Man in His own image, in the image of G-d He created him; male and female He created them....

G-d formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul....

And G-d said: It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helpmeet opposite him.

And out of the ground G-d formed every beast of the field, and every bird of the air; and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. And the man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for the man there was not found a helpmeet opposite him.

And G-d caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and He took one of his sides, and closed up the flesh in its place. And G-d built the side which He had taken from the man into a woman, and brought her to the man.

And the man said: "This time! A bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother, and cleaves to his wife; and they become one flesh."

And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and they felt no shame.
