Do Ladies Have More Ribs than Men?
- No, women and men have the same number of ribs.
- The Bible does not claim that men have less ribs than women.
- Men and women have 12 pairs of ribs for a total of 24 ribs.
- This belief is taken from the biblical account of God taking a rib from the side of Adam and closing up the flesh.
- This is interesting because just as in modern-day surgeries, if you remove a rib, it doesn't make your subsequent children have one less rib. It just makes it the case for you.
- So men and women today have the same number of ribs.

God Takes Rib From Adam To Form Eve in Genesis 2
21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. 22 Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He [h]made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.
23 And Adam said:
“This is now bone of my bones
And flesh of my flesh;
She shall be called [i]Woman,
Because she was taken out of [j]Man.”
24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be[k] joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
