138. Verse 18. And Jehovah God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help as with him. By “alone” is signified that he was not content to be led by the Lord, but desired to be led by self and the world; by a “help as with him” is signified man’s Own, which is subsequently called a “rib built into a woman.”
