This study of a synchronic nature engages in an exegetical dialogue on the text of Genesis 2:25. For this, two methodological resources are used. The first is an ecdotic analysis that allows defining a pericope on which to discuss, namely Genesis 2:4-4:26, in Codex Leningrandensis B19A. The second is a narratological examination that highlights the concepts of union and separation. Finally, it is concluded that these notions make up a rhetorical paradigm that permeates all the textual degrees analyzed: from the main text (Gen 2:25), followed by the narrative pericope (2:4-3:24), to the complete writing of the book of Genesis.
