"bone from my bone" = "substance from my substance".

"leave his father" = "leave his youth"
Comments
Is this "rib" or "cell" (meaning a cell of the biological organism)? However, if "rib" is cell or just DNA it would probably not make sense to "close it with flesh". So it is likely it is indeed a rib.
"This time" in Genesis 2:23 is a contrast with the times Adam met animals.
It is unclear whether Genesis 2:24 are words of Adam or not a direct speech.
