Genesis 2:21

"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 and closed up the place with flesh."  Genesis 2:21

"Deep sleep" can also be translated as "trance" or "lethargy" in the Qbible.  And literally it says God took "one from out of his side."  This could just be a single rib, or it could be more than that.  It could include bone, muscle, tissue, fat, and whatever else people have in their sides.

The end phrase, "and closed up the place with flesh," is in the Qbible literally translated to "and shut the flesh below."  "Below" can mean "instead of" so that could be God put flesh in the place of piece of side he took out.
