וַיִּקְרָ֨א הָֽאָדָ֜ם שֵׁמ֗וֹת לְכָל־הַבְּהֵמָה֙ וּלְע֣וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם וּלְכֹ֖ל חַיַּ֣ת הַשָּׂדֶ֑ה וּלְאָדָ֕ם לֹֽא־מָצָ֥א עֵ֖זֶר כְּנֶגְדּֽוֹ׃
האָט דער מענטש אָנגערופֿן נעמען פֿאַר אַלע בהמות, און פֿאַר די פֿױגלען פֿון הימל, און פֿאַר אַלע חיות פֿון פֿעלד; אָבער פֿאַר אָָדָמען האָט ער ניט געפֿונען אַ געהילף װעדליק פֿאַר אים.

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.
