Question

"a man shall leave his mother and a woman leave her home" and is this a passage from the bible? where can it be found? who sings it and what is the title of the song please? thank you :)

Answer 1

We had this read at our wedding. It's from Genisis, chapter 2

18 The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."

19 Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field.
But for Adam [h] no suitable helper was found. 21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs [i] and closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib [j] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

23 The man said,
"This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called 'woman, [k] '
for she was taken out of man."

24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.


I think verse 24 is what you're looking for.

Answer 2

I think it is called "The Wedding Song", it is by a man at the time who was named, Noel Paul Stucky, or Stooky? Something like that. It is pronounced Stooky, I do not know how it is spelled.

Ever hear of Peter, Paul, and Mary, a popular singing trio from the 1960s? Well, that is a single, probably off of an album, and now can be purchased on cd, by Paul. Either singlely or with the trio.

Answer 8

Now our lord god had formed out of the floor all the beasts of the sphere and all the birds of the air. He further them to the guy to confirm what he would call them; and notwithstanding the guy referred to as each and each and every residing creature, that became its call. 20 So the guy gave names to all the farm animals, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the sphere. yet for Adam [h] no perfect helper became stumbled on. 21 So our lord god led to the guy to fall right into a deep sleep; or perhaps as he became drowsing, he took between the guy's ribs [i] and closed up the position with flesh. 22 Then our lord god made a lady from the rib [j] he had taken out of the guy, and he further her to the guy. 23 the guy suggested, "it really is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she will be able to be referred to as 'woman, [ok] ' for she became taken out of guy." 24 subsequently a guy will go away his father and mom and be united to his spouse, and they'll change into one flesh. 25 the guy and his spouse were both bare, and they felt no shame. Above is the context. From the context it really is sparkling that the tale isn't about explaining Adam leaving his mum and dad, yet about explaining why the Sons of Adam go away their father and mom even as they wed.
