L’homme imposa des noms à tous les animaux qui paissent, aux oiseaux du ciel, à toutes les bêtes sauvages; mais pour lui-même, il ne trouva pas de compagne qui lui fût assortie.

And how does the woman correspond to the man?
Behold the Torah said as follows: And the man gave names to all the beasts and to the birds of the sky and all the wild animals of the field; but no helpmate corresponding to him was found for the man (Genesis 2:20).
This teaches that no helpmate corresponding to him was found among the animals and the birds. For they are not like him.That is why the woman was necessary, for only she is equal to him.
