2:18 Note: BHS has been faithful to the Leningrad Codex where there might be a question of the validity of the form and we keep the same form as BHS.
OET (OET-RV) Then Yahweh God said, “It’s not good for the man to be alone, so I’ll make a suitable helper for him.”
וַיֹּ֨אמֶר֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהִ֔ים לֹא ט֛וֹב
and=he/it_said YHWH ʼElohīm not good
Alternate translation: “Next Yahweh who is God declared, It is not good”
הֱי֥וֹת הָֽאָדָ֖ם לְבַדּ֑וֹ
to_be the=humankind for=him/it=being_alone
Alternate translation: “that the man is alone.”
אֶֽעֱשֶׂהּ
I_will_make
Alternate translation: “So I will make”
לּ֥וֹ עֵ֖זֶר כְּנֶגְדּֽוֹ
for=him/it helper like=in_front_of=him/it
Alternate translation: “a helper who is just right for him.” or “someone who is right for him and will help him.”
2:18 It is not good: This is God’s first negative assessment of an otherwise excellent creation (1:31). The Lord God is portrayed as a father who obtains a bride for his son (cp. ch 24).
• The answer to the man’s need is a helper who is just right for him; she is his perfect complement, made in the same image of God (1:26-27), given the same commission (1:28; 2:15), and obligated by the same prohibition (2:17). The man cannot fulfill his created purpose alone.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
