But when he saw that Adam had no female companion, no society, for there was no such created, and that he wondered at the other animals which were male and female, he laid him asleep, and took away one of his ribs, and out of it formed the woman; whereupon Adam knew her when she was brought to him, and acknowledged that she was made out of himself. BUT WHEN HE SAW THAT ADAM HAD NO FEMALE COMPANION NO SOCIETY FOR THERE WAS NO SUCH CREATED AND THAT HE WONDERED AT THE OTHER ANIMALS WHICH WERE MALE AND FEMALE HE LAID HIM ASLEEP AND TOOK AWAY ONE OF HIS RIBS AND OUT OF IT FORMED THE WOMAN WHEREUPON ADAM KNEW HER WHEN SHE WAS BROUGHT TO HIM AND ACKNOWLEDGED THAT SHE WAS MADE OUT OF HIMSELF
ated the four-footed beasts, and made them male and female: on the same day he also formed man. Accordingly Moses says, That in just six days the world, and all that is therein, was made. And that the seventh day was a rest, and a release from the labor of such operations; whence it is that we Celebrate a rest from our labors on that day, and call it the Sabbath, which word denotes rest in the Hebrew tongue. 2. Moreover, Moses, after the seventh day was over1 begins to talk philosophically; and concerning the formation of man, says thus: That God took dust from the ground, and formed man, and inserted in him a spirit and a soul.2 This man was called Adam, which in the Hebrew tongue signifies one that is red, because he was formed out of red earth, compounded together; for of that kind is virgin and true earth. God also presented the living creatures, when he had made them, according to their kinds, both male and female, to Adam, who gave them those names by which they are still called. AND MULTIPLY ON THE SIXTH DAY HE CREATED THE FOUR FOOTED BEASTS AND MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE ON THE SAME DAY HE ALSO FORMED MAN ACCORDINGLY MOSES SAID THAT IN JUST SIX DAYS THE WORLD AND ALL THAT IS THEREIN WAS MADE AND THAT THE SEVENTH DAY WAS A REST AND A RELEASE FROM THE LABOR OF SUCH OPERATIONS WHENCE IT IS THAT WE CELEBRATE A REST FROM OUR LABORS ON THAT DAY AND CALL IT THE SABBATH WHICH WORD DENOTES REST IN THE HEBREW TONGUE MOREOVER MOSES AFTER THE SEVENTH DAY WAS OVER BEGINS TO TALK PHILOSOPHICALLY AND CONCERNING THE FORMATION OF MAN SAYS THUS THAT GOD TOOK DUST FROM THE GROUND AND FORMED MAN AND INSERTED IN HIM A SPIRIT AND A SOUL THIS MAN WAS CALLED ADAM WHICH IN THE HEBREW TONGUE SIGNIFIES ONE THAT IS RED BECAUSE HE WAS FORMED OUT OF RED EARTH COMPOUNDED TOGETHER FOR OF THAT KIND IS VIRGIN AND TRUE EARTH GOD ALSO PRESENTED THE LIVING CREATURES WHEN HE HAD MADE THEM ACCORDING TO THEIR KINDS BOTH MALE AND FEMALE TO ADAM WHO GAVE THEM THOSE NAMES BY WHICH THEY ARE STILL CALLED
