For a note about when to first use Adam’s name, see verse 19. Also, see how you translated livestock in Gen [1:24-26](../1/24.md) Alternate translation: [The man assigned names to all the different types of livestock] or [Adam named all the different types of tame animals]

Alternate translation: [and to all the different types of birds that fly in the sky]

וּ⁠לְ⁠כֹ֖ל חַיַּ֣ת הַ⁠שָּׂדֶ֑ה

and=to/for=all being/animal the=field

See how you translated a similar phrase in Genesis [2:19](../2/19.md). Alternate translation: [and to all the other different types of creatures that live in the wild] or [and to all the wild animals]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וּ⁠לְ⁠אָדָ֕ם לֹֽא־מָצָ֥א עֵ֖זֶר כְּ⁠נֶגְדּֽ⁠וֹ

and=to/for=humankind not he/it_found helper like=in_front_of=him/it

Consider whether it is more natural in your language to use an active or passive construction here. Also see how you translated a suitable helper in Genesis [2:18](../2/18.md). Alternate translation: [but he could not find a fitting helper for himself among them] or [but none of them was a helper who was just right for him]
