SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:18
¶ Y dijo el SEÑOR Dios: No es bueno que el hombre esté solo; le haré ayuda que esté delante de él.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 2:18
Verse 18. It is not good that the man should be alone] wdbl lebaddo; only himself. I will make him a help meet for him; rz[ wdgnk ezer kenegdo, a help, a counterpart of himself, one formed from him, and a perfect resemblance of his person. If the word be rendered scrupulously literally, it signifies one like, or as himself, standing opposite to or before him. And this implies that the woman was to be a perfect resemblance of the man, possessing neither inferiority nor superiority, but being in all things like and equal to himself. As man was made a social creature, it was not proper that he should be alone; for to be alone, i.e. without a matrimonial companion, was not good. Hence we find that celibacy in general is a thing that is not good, whether it be on the side of the man or of the woman. Men may, in opposition to the declaration of God, call this a state of excellence and a state of perfection; but let them remember that the word of God says the reverse.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 18-25 - Power over the creatures was given to man, and as a proof of this he named them all. It also shows his insight into the works of God. But though he was lord of the creatures, yet nothing in this world was help meet for man. From God are all our helpers. If we rest in God, he will work all for good. God caused deep sleep to fall on Adam; while he knows no sin, God will take care that he shall feel no pain. God, a her Father, brought the woman to the man, as his second self, and help meet for him. That wife, who is of God's making by special grace and of God's bringing by special providence, is likely to prove a hel meet for a man. See what need there is, both of prudence and prayer in the choice of this relation, which is so near and so lasting. That ha need to be well done, which is to be done for life. Our first parent needed no clothes for covering against cold or heat, for neither coul hurt them: they needed none for ornament. Thus easy, thus happy, wa man in his state of innocency. How good was God to him! How man favours did he load him with! How easy were the laws given to him! Ye man, being in honour, understood not his own interest, but soon becam as the beasts that perish __________________________________________________________________
