Genesis 2:18
And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. (Genesis 2:18)
An help meet for him.
Appropriate, that is, to his needs; to complement him. Animals had been created in swarms or in groups, but man as a solitary individual. However, it was not God’s purpose for him to be alone for long. Loneliness would be detrimental to man’s well-being, and God would therefore make a companion for him.
