Genesis 2:23

וַ יֹּאמֶר הָ אָדָם זֹאת הַ פַּעַם עֶצֶם מֵ עֲצָמַי וּ בָשָׂר מִ בְּשָׂרִי לְ זֹאת יִקָּרֵא אִשָּׁה כִּי מֵ אִישׁ לֻקֳחָה זֹּאת

And the Red-one is saying, `This one is the Foot-Strike,¹⁰⁰ a bone of my bones. And a fresh-flesh of my fresh-flesh to this one; she is being called-out Woman for from a man¹⁰¹ this one has been taken.¹⁰²

Strong’s #3947, laqach. Taken. This word is overwhelmingly used to infer taken in marriage, captured, obtained, accepted, taken. It does not mean merely “removed from”. “she took from his fruit” Gen. 3:6; the ground opened her mouth to take Abels blood, Gen. 4:11; elohim took Narrow, Gen. 5:24; the sons of the Elohim took women, Gen. 6:2; they took food, Gen. 6:21; Sarah was taken into Pharoah’s house.” Gen. 12:15; Gifts were taken, Gen. 33:11. “Take also for yourself the finest…” Exodus 30:23, etc. Adam called “this one” a woman because she was taken from a man. In other words, she is called a woman because she was taken from a man by Adam. Welcome to the world of enigma. Recall and ponder the words, “Yahweh caused her to come into Adam.”
