Genesis 2:18, KJV: "And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him."


Ezer is Hebrew for help
Strength, rescuing, saving, defending
Always used in military context except towards Eve and over two dozen times refers to God as divine helper and protector of Israel.
Basically to quell Adam from being alone, a savior not a servant and definitely not subservient.
