From Genesis 2:4 to the end of the chapter, the creation of the first man and [[woman]], [[Adam]] and [[Eve]], is described, along with the [[Garden of Eden|garden]] into which they were placed.  The account also records that God brought various creatures<ref>''All the beast of the field and all the birds of the air'', so clearly a subset of all the creatures.</ref> to Adam to name.  None of them made a suitable helper for Adam, so God created a woman for Adam.
