Strongs #5307 יפל yaphal. From the root naphal, to fall. 

One of the notable translation lies here is the rendering of the verb in the completed/perfect "he caused to fall". It is not in the complete form, but incomplete. A few literal translations attest to this fact:

• "God causes a deep sleep to fall" (LSV)
• God causeth a deep sleep to fall (YLT)
• God will cause to fall (Julia Smith)

None of the modern translations translated it faithfully. Even the LXX fudged it— "brought a trance" (Brenton LXX)

 Strong’s #8639, tardemah. A death stun. That which puts one in a comatose. Used to describe a heavy lethargy or paralyzation, not physical rest or sleep. From the primitive root radam (#7290) to stun, stupify.

The human body has 24 ribs. 12 on each side. Only one rib (i.e. the Hour of Himself) was taken hold of. See note on “taken” in Genesis 2:23.

shuts up…underneath her. Strong’s #5642, sagar, means “close or shut” as in closing a door or gate, and the very same construct used here (he shuts) is used in Genesis 7:16. Hebrew tachtenah. Strong’s #8478. This word has the feminine singular suffix, which is also a directional suffix. The word is sometimes translated “in its place” but means literally “underneath” and is also indicative of the belly from which the rib is taken. The picture is a riddle. Maybe Paul knows it, “but the Writing did shut together [sugkleió - enclose, shut together] the whole [Flesh] under a miss, so that the Promise of a trust of Salvation Anointed One may be given to those ones trusting [the rib?].” (Galatians 3:22 RBT)
