< Genesis 2 >
1 And the heaven and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
So the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the furniture of them.
2 And on the seventh day God finished His work which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made.
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.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it; because that in it He rested from all His work which God in creating had made.
And he blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
4 These are the generations of the heaven and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made earth and heaven.
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:
5 No shrub of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground;
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.
6 but there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
But a spring rose out of the earth, watering all the surface of the earth.
7 Then 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.
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.
8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward, in Eden; and there He put the man whom He had formed.
And the Lord God had planted a paradise of pleasure from the beginning: wherein he placed man whom he had formed.
9 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 the knowledge of good and evil.
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.
10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became four heads.
And a river went out of the place of pleasure to water paradise, which from thence is divided into four heads.
11 The name of the first is Pishon; that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
The name of the one is Phison: that is it which compasseth all the land of Hevilath, where gold groweth.
12 and the gold of that land is good; there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
And the gold of that land is very good: there is found bdellium, and the onyx stone.
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon; the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Cush.
And the name of the second river is Gehon: the same is it that compasseth all the land of Ethiopia.
14 And the name of the third river is Tigris; that is it which goeth toward the east of Asshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
And the name of the third river is Tigris: the same passeth along by the Assyrians. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
And the Lord God took man, and put him into the paradise of pleasure, to dress it, and to keep it.
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying: 'Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat;
And he commanded him, saying: Of every tree of paradise thou shalt eat:
17 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.'
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.
18 And the LORD God said: 'It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.'
And the Lord God said: It is not good for man to be alone: let us make him a help like unto himself.
19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto the man to see what he would call them; and whatsoever the man would call every living creature, that was to be the name thereof.
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.
20 And the man 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 a help meet for him.
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.
21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the place with flesh instead thereof.
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.
22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from the man, made He a woman, and brought her unto the man.
And the Lord God built the rib which he took from Adam into a woman: and brought her to Adam.
23 And the man 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.'
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.
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh.
Wherefore a man shall leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they shall be two in one flesh.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
And they were both naked: to wit, Adam and his wife: and were not ashamed.
