6You made Adam, and for him you made his wife Eve
as a helper and support.
From the two of them the human race has sprung.
You said, βIt is not good that the man should be alone;
let us make a helper for him like himself.β7I now am taking this kinswoman of mine,
not because of lust,
but with sincerity.
Grant that she and I may find mercy
and that we may grow old together.β
