George Leo Haydock, on Gen 2:23
George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Gen 2:23 · Douay-Rheims
“And Adam said: This now is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man.”
On this verse:
“Of my flesh. God did not, therefore, take a rib without flesh, nor perhaps did he replace flesh without a rib in Adam’s side, though St. Augustine thinks he did. These words of Adam are attributed to God, Matthew xix., because they were inspired by him. — Woman. As this word is derived from man, so in Hebrew Isha (or Asse ) comes from Iish or Aiss ; Latin vira woman, and virago comes from vir. (Haydock) — But we do not find this allusion so sensible in any of the Oriental languages, as in the Hebrew, whence another proof arises of this being the original language. (Calmet)”
