Genesis 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall join to his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Husband and wife should be like two candles burning together, which make the house more lightsome; or like two fragrant flowers bound up in one nosegay, that augment its sweetness; or like two well-tuned instruments, which, sounding together, make the more melodious music. Husband and wife — what are they but as two springs meeting, and so joining their streams that they make but one current? (W. Secker.) Parallel Verses KJV: Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. |
