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 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 God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it; because that in it He rested from all His work which God in creating had made.

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 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 there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
But there rose a fountain out of the earth, and watered the whole face 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 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 Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became 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 first is Pishon; that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
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 good; there is 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 Gihon; the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Cush.
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; that is it which goeth toward the east of Asshur. And the fourth river is the 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 the man whom he had formed, and placed him in the garden of Delight, to cultivate and keep it.
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying: 'Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely 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 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 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 that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.'
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 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 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 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 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 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.

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 her husband.
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be 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, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
