< Genesis 2 >

1 So the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the furniture of them.
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
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 ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
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 blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
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 heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
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.
And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and [there was] not a man to till the ground.
6 But a spring rose out of the earth, watering all the surface of the earth.
But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
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 formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils 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 planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
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 ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of 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 to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
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] Pison: that [is] it which compasseth the whole 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: the same [is] it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
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] Hiddekel: that [is] it which goeth toward 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 into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
16 And he commanded him, saying: Of every tree of paradise thou shalt eat:
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
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 tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
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 that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for 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 out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought [them] unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that [was] the name thereof.
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 Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
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 caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22 And the Lord God built the rib which he took from Adam into a woman: and brought her to Adam.
And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto 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 Adam said, This [is] now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called 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.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
25 And they were both naked: to wit, Adam and his wife: and were not ashamed.
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
