THE BIBLE IN POP CULTURE

God fashioned the side...into a woman, Genesis 2:21-22









 

21. So Hashem cast a deep sleep upon the man and he slept; and He took one of his sides and He filled in flesh in its place. 22. Then Hashem God fashioned the side that He had taken from the man into a woman, and He brought her to the man.

This painting at left by Michelangelo on the ceiling of the Sistine chapel is the best known representation of these two biblical verses.
