Genesis 2
1 So the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the furniture of them.
And the heaven and the earth and all things in them were complete.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made: and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done.
And on the seventh day God came to the end of all his work; and on the seventh day he took his rest from all the work which he had done.
3 And he blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
And God gave his blessing to the seventh day and made it holy: because on that day he took his rest from all the work which he had made and done.
4 These are the generations of the heaven and the earth, when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the heaven and the earth:
These are the generations of the heaven and the earth when they were made.
5 And every plant of the field before it sprung up in the earth, and every herb of the ground before it grew: for the Lord God had not rained upon the earth; and there was not a man to till the earth.
In the day when the Lord God made earth and heaven there were no plants of the field on the earth, and no grass had come up: for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no man to do work on the land.
6 But a spring rose out of the earth, watering all the surface of the earth.
But a mist went up from the earth, watering all the face of the land.
7 And the Lord God formed man of the slime of the earth: and breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul.
And the Lord God made man from the dust of the earth, breathing into him the breath of life: and man became a living soul.
8 And the Lord God had planted a paradise of pleasure from the beginning: wherein he placed man whom he had formed.
And the Lord God made a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had made.
9 And the Lord God brought forth of the ground all manner of trees, fair to behold, and pleasant to eat of: the tree of life also in the midst of paradise: and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
And out of the earth the Lord made every tree to come, delighting the eye and good for food; and in the middle of the garden, the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 And a river went out of the place of pleasure to water paradise, which from thence is divided into four heads.
And a river went out of Eden giving water to the garden; and from there it was parted and became four streams.
11 The name of the one is Phison: that is it which compasseth all the land of Hevilath, where gold groweth.
The name of the first is Pishon, which goes round about all the land of Havilah where there is gold.
12 And the gold of that land is very good: there is found bdellium, and the onyx stone.
And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
13 And the name of the second river is Gehon: the same is it that compasseth all the land of Ethiopia.
And the name of the second river is Gihon: this river goes round all the land of Cush.
14 And the name of the third river is Tigris: the same passeth along by the Assyrians. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
And the name of the third river is Tigris, which goes to the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
15 And the Lord God took man, and put him into the paradise of pleasure, to dress it, and to keep it.
And the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to do work in it and take care of it.
16 And he commanded him, saying: Of every tree of paradise thou shalt eat:
And the Lord God gave the man orders, saying, You may freely take of the fruit of every tree of the garden:
17 But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat. For in what day soever thou shalt eat of it, thou shalt die the death.
But of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you may not take; for on the day when you take of it, death will certainly come to you.
18 And the Lord God said: It is not good for man to be alone: let us make him a help like unto himself.
And the Lord God said, It is not good for the man to be by himself: I will make one like himself as a help to him
19 And the Lord God having formed out of the ground all the beasts of the earth, and all the fowls of the air, brought them to Adam to see what he would call them: for whatsoever Adam called any living creature the same is its name.
And from the earth the Lord God made every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and took them to the man to see what names he would give them: and whatever name he gave to any living thing, that was its name.
20 And Adam called all the beasts by their names, and all the fowls of the air, and all the cattle of the field: but for Adam there was not found a helper like himself.
And the man gave names to all cattle and to the birds of the air and to every beast of the field; but Adam had no one like himself as a help.
21 Then the Lord God cast a deep sleep upon Adam: and when he was fast asleep, he took one of his ribs, and filled up flesh for it.
And the Lord God sent a deep sleep on the man, and took one of the bones from his side while he was sleeping, joining up the flesh again in its place:
22 And the Lord God built the rib which he took from Adam into a woman: and brought her to Adam.
And the bone which the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman, and took her to the man.
23 And Adam said: This now is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man.
And the man said, This is now bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh: let her name be Woman because she was taken out of Man.
24 Wherefore a man shall leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they shall be two in one flesh.
For this cause will a man go away from his father and his mother and be joined to his wife; and they will be one flesh.
25 And they were both naked: to wit, Adam and his wife: and were not ashamed.
And the man and his wife were without clothing, and they had no sense of shame.
