Genesis 2:23
Question
Good morning,
I have a question concerning Genesis 2:23 “And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.”
Can you please tell me if there is any hint, any clue in this text in the Hebrew as to HOW WILL OTHER PEOPLE KNOW that the woman was taken out of man?
Could you please recommend any teaching, lectures on this subject and send me a few links or names I could find online?
I do appreciate your help.
every blessing to you

The words used in the original Hebrew are “Ish” for man and “Isha” for woman. In Hebrew it is perfectly clear because the word Isha is the feminine form of the word Ish.
