Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

A 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;
- B 22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man,
  - C 22 made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
    - D 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh:
  - C' 23 she shall be called Woman,
- B' 23 because she was taken out of Man.
A' 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
