Genesis 2
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
Thus the heauens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And by the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on that day He rested from all His work.
For in the seuenth day GOD ended his worke which he had made, and the seuenth day he rested from al his worke, which he had made.
3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on that day He rested from all the work of creation that He had accomplished.
So God blessed the seuenth day, and sanctified it, because that in it he had rested from all his worke, which God had created and made.
4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made them.
These are the generations of the heauens and of the earth, when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heauens,
5 Now no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth, nor had any plant of the field sprouted; for the LORD God had not yet sent rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground.
And euery plant of the fielde, before it was in the earth, and euery herbe of the field, before it grewe: for the Lord God had not caused it to raine vpon the earth, neither was there a man to till the ground,
6 But springs welled up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
But a myst went vp from the earth, and watered all the earth.
7 Then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.
The Lord God also made the man of the dust of the grounde, and breathed in his face breath of life, and the man was a liuing soule.
8 And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, where He placed the man He had formed.
And the Lord God planted a garden Eastward in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had made.
9 Out of the ground the LORD God gave growth to every tree that is pleasing to the eye and good for food. And in the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
(For out of the ground made the Lord God to grow euery tree pleasant to the sight, and good for meate: the tree of life also in the mids of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and of euill.
10 Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it branched into four headwaters:
And out of Eden went a riuer to water the garden, and from thence it was deuided, and became into foure heads.
11 The name of the first river is Pishon; it winds through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
The name of one is Pishon: the same compasseth the whole land of Hauilah, where is golde.
12 And the gold of that land is pure, and bdellium and onyx are found there.
And the golde of that land is good: there is Bdelium, and the Onix stone.
13 The name of the second river is Gihon; it winds through the whole land of Cush.
And the name of the seconde riuer is Gihon: the same compasseth the whole lande of Cush.
14 The name of the third river is Hiddekel; it runs along the east side of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
The name also of the third riuer is Hiddekel: this goeth toward the Eastside of Asshur: and the fourth riuer is Perath)
15 Then the LORD God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.
Then the Lord God tooke the man, and put him into the garden of Eden, that he might dresse it and keepe it.
16 And the LORD God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden,
And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Thou shalt eate freely of euery tree of the garden,
17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”
But of the tree of knowledge of good and euill, thou shalt not eate of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt die the death.
18 The LORD God also said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper.”
Also the Lord God saide, It is not good that the man should be himself alone: I wil make him an helpe meete for him.
19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and He brought them to the man to see what he would name each one. And whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.
So the Lord God formed of the earth euery beast of the fielde, and euery foule of the heauen, and brought them vnto the man to see howe he would call them: for howsoeuer the man named the liuing creature, so was the name thereof.
20 The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.
The man therefore gaue names vnto all cattell, and to the foule of the heauen, and to euery beast of the fielde: but for Adam founde he not an helpe meete for him.
21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he slept, He took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the area with flesh.
Therefore the Lord God caused an heauie sleepe to fall vpon the man, and he slept: and he tooke one of his ribbes, and closed vp the flesh in steade thereof.
22 And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman and brought her to him.
And the ribbe which the Lord God had taken from the man, made he a woman, and brought her to the man.
23 And the man said: “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for out of man she was taken.”
Then the man said, This now is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She shalbe called woman, because she was taken out of man.
24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
Therefore shall man leaue his father and his mother, and shall cleaue to his wife, and they shall be one flesh.
25 And the man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
