Genesis2:22

22. And the Rib, which the LORD God had taken from Man, made he a Woman, and brought her unto the Man

From some place at a little distance, whether he first carryed her, that for the decency of the action he might bring her thence.

A Bride to a Bridegroom to be married to him, the great God being pleased to act the part of a Father to give his Daughter and workmanship to him, thereby both teaching Parents their duty of providing Marriages for their Children, and Children their duty of expecting their Parents consent in Marriage.
