Genesis 2
1 So the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the furniture of them.
Thus were finished the heavens and the earth 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.
Thus God finished, on the seventh day his work which he had made, and 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 hallowed it, —because therein, rested he from all his work which God, by creating, had 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 geneses of the heavens and the earth when they were created, —in the day when Yahweh God made earth and 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.
Now, no bush of the field, as yet—was in the earth, and, no herb of the field, as yet had sprung up, —because Yahweh God had not sent rain on the earth, and, man, was there none to till the ground;
6 But a spring rose out of the earth, watering all the surface of the earth.
but, a vapour, went up from the earth, —and watered all the 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.
So then Yahweh God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed in 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 Yahweh God planted a garden in Eden, on the east, —and put 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 Yahweh God, caused to spring up, out of the ground, every tree pleasant to the sight 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.
Now, a river, was coming forth out of Eden, to water the garden, —and, from thence, it parted, and became 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, is Pishon, —the same, is that which surroundeth all the land of Havilah, where is gold;
12 And the gold of that land is very good: there is found bdellium, and the onyx stone.
moreover the gold of that land, is good, —there, is the bdellium, and the beryl 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 that which surroundeth 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 Hiddekel, the same, is that which goeth in front 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.
So Yahweh God took the man, —and placed him in the garden of Eden, to till it and to keep it.
16 And he commanded him, saying: Of every tree of paradise thou shalt eat:
And Yahweh God laid command on the man, saying, —Of every tree of the garden, thou mayest 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 thou eatest thereof, thou shalt 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 Yahweh God said, It is, not good, that the man should remain alone, —I will make for 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.
Now Yahweh God had formed from the ground every living thing of the field and every bird of the heavens, which he brought in unto the man, that he might see what he should call it, —and, whatsoever the man should call it—any living soul, that, should be 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.
So the man gave names to all the tame-beasts, and to the birds of the heavens, and to all the wild-beasts of the field, —but, for man, had there not been found a helper 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.
So Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept, —and he took one of his ribs, and closed up 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 Yahweh God builded the rib which he had taken from the man, into a woman, and brought her in 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 the man said, This, one, now, is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh! This, one shall be called Woman, for, out of a man, hath this one been taken.
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 leave his father and his mother, and cleave unto his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
25 And they were both naked: to wit, Adam and his wife: and were not ashamed.
And they were both of them naked, the man and his wife, —and put not each other to shame.
