Genesis 2
1 So the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the furniture of them.
And the heavens and the earth are completed, and all their host;
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 completes by the seventh day His work which He has made, and ceases by the seventh day from all His work which He has 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 blesses the seventh day, and sanctifies it, for in it He has ceased from all His work which God had created for making.
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 in their being created, in the day of YHWH God’s making 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 no shrub of the field is yet in the earth, and no herb of the field yet sprouts, for YHWH God has not rained on the earth, and there is not a man to serve the ground,
6 But a spring rose out of the earth, watering all the surface of the earth.
and a mist goes up from the earth, and has 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 YHWH God forms the man—dust from the ground, and breathes into his nostrils breath of life, and the man becomes a living creature.
8 And the Lord God had planted a paradise of pleasure from the beginning: wherein he placed man whom he had formed.
And YHWH God plants a garden in Eden, at the east, and He sets there the man whom He has 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 YHWH God causes to sprout from the ground every tree desirable for appearance, and good for food, and the Tree of Life in the midst of the garden, 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 is going out from Eden to water the garden, and from there it is parted, and has become four chief [rivers];
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, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of Havilah where the gold [is],
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; the bdellium and the shoham stone [are] there;
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, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole 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] Hiddekel, it [is] that which is going east of Asshur; and the fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 And the Lord God took man, and put him into the paradise of pleasure, to dress it, and to keep it.
And YHWH God takes the man, and causes him to rest in the Garden of Eden, to serve it and to keep it.
16 And he commanded him, saying: Of every tree of paradise thou shalt eat:
And YHWH God lays a charge on the man, saying, “From every tree of the garden eating you 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 from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, you do not eat from it, for in the day of your eating from it—dying you 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 YHWH God says, “[It is] not good for the man to be alone; I make him a helper as his counterpart.”
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 YHWH God forms from the ground every beast of the field, and every bird of the heavens, and brings [them] to the man, to see what he calls it; and whatever the man calls a living creature, that [is] 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 calls names to all the livestock, and to bird of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but for man a helper has not been found as his counterpart.
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 YHWH God causes a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he sleeps, and He takes one of his ribs, and closes up flesh in its stead.
22 And the Lord God built the rib which he took from Adam into a woman: and brought her to Adam.
And YHWH God builds up the rib which He has taken out of the man into a woman, and brings 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 says, “This at last! Bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh!” For this is called Woman, for this has been taken from 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 a man leaves his father and his mother, and has cleaved to his wife, and they have become one flesh.
25 And they were both naked: to wit, Adam and his wife: and were not ashamed.
And both of them are naked, the man and his wife, and they are not ashamed of themselves.
