**It is more than likely that Eve was taken from Adam after the sixth day. The clues can be gleaned from the Timeline:** Dry land Earth > Man fashioned > *Gan Eden* planted > Man borne to *Gan Eden* > Trees from the ground in *Gan Eden* > Man alone > living creatures as helpmate, from ground in *Gan Eden* > No suitable helpmate > Eve from Man. God made the dry land Earth *on the third day*.<sup><a href="#fn1" id="ref1">1</a></sup> From that earth, he fashioned man *on the sixth day*.<sup><a href="#fn2" id="ref2">2</a></sup> **[And]** the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, *on the same day or _ day?* The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it *on the same day or _ day.*<sup><a href="#fn3" id="ref3">3</a></sup> **[And] from the ground in the garden of Eden**, God made the trees from which man could eat from, *the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil*.<sup><a href="#fn4" id="ref4">4</a></sup> This was on the _ day. ... some time elapses ... **After** deciding to make a helper fit for him, God made **from the ground in Eden**, every living creature that Adam was later to name.<sup><a href="#fn5" id="ref5">5</a></sup> This was on the _ day. ... some time elapses ...*but for the man there was not found a helper fit for him. cf. [Gn 2:20]* Finally God takes Eve from Man on the _ day. There isn't enough information to fill in the blanks and the timeline strongly indicates that Eve was taken out of Man after the sixth day. <hr></hr> <sup id="fn1">1.
