Genesis 2
1 So the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the furniture of them.
And the heavens and the earth were finished, and the whole world 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 God finished on the sixth day his works which he made, and he ceased on the seventh day from all his works which he 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 in it he ceased from all his works which God began to do.
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:
This [is] the book of the generation of heaven and earth, when they were made, in the day in which the Lord God made the heaven and the earth,
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 herb of the field before it was on the earth, and all the grass of the field before it sprang up, for God had not rained on the earth, and there was not a man to cultivate it.
6 But a spring rose out of the earth, watering all the surface of the earth.
But there rose a fountain out of the earth, and watered the whole face of the earth.
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 God formed the man [of] dust of the earth, and breathed upon his face the breath of life, and the 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 God planted a garden eastward in Edem, and placed there 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 God made to spring up also out of the earth every tree beautiful to the eye and good for food, and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of learning 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 proceeds out of Edem to water the garden, thence it divides itself 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 one, Phisom, this it is which encircles the whole land of Evilat, 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 also is carbuncle and emerald.
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 Geon, this it is which encircles 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 third river is Tigris, this is that which flows forth over against the Assyrians. 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 whom he had formed, and placed him in the garden of Delight, to cultivate and keep it.
16 And he commanded him, saying: Of every tree of paradise thou shalt eat:
And the Lord God gave a charge to Adam, saying, Of every tree which is in the garden you may 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—of it you shall not eat, but in whatever day you eat of it, you shall 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, let us make for him a help suitable 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 God formed yet farther out of the earth all the wild beasts of the field, and all the birds of the sky, and he brought them to Adam, to see what he would call them, and whatever Adam called any living creature, that was the name of it.
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 the cattle and to all the birds of the sky, and to all the wild beasts of the field, but for Adam there was not found a help like to himself.
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 God brought a trance upon Adam, and he slept, and he took one of his ribs, and filled 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 God formed the rib which he took from Adam into a woman, and brought her to Adam.
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 now is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of her husband.
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 to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
25 And they were both naked: to wit, Adam and his wife: and were not ashamed.
