The AKJV says it this way ~.
18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. 19 And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. 20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. 21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22 and the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. The terminology beast of the field is not understood by most " church goers ". I suggest a look see in strongs concordance for translation from Hebrew to English you might be surprised to find it means living creature - of course there was no mate for Adam for he was unique in his generation (look this word up to ) Adam translates to blush in the face. The Adam was a race of people who would later be called the Israelites .. Reference the newer scripture read Romans 9- if we all understood the first chapter of Genesis we'd have a firm foundation. Prophecy must be fulfilled :)
