Flesh of my flesh. (Genesis 2:21-23)

Genesis 2:21-23

New International Version (NIV)

²¹ So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. ²² Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
²³ The man said,

“This is now bone of my bones
    and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called ‘woman,’
    for she was taken out of man.”


God forms and equips men and women for various tasks, but all these tasks lead to the same goal - honoring God. Man gives life to woman; woman gives life to the world. Each role carries exclusive privileges ; there is no room for thinking that one sex is superior to the other.
