Genesis 2
1 And the heavens and the earth are completed, and all their host;
And the heavens and the earth were finished, and the whole world of them.
2 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.
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 blesses the seventh day, and sanctifies it, for in it He has ceased from all His work which God had created for making.
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 heavens and of the earth in their being created, in the day of YHWH God’s making the earth and the heavens;
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 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,
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 and a mist goes up from the earth, and has 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 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.
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 YHWH God plants a garden in Eden, at the east, and He sets there the man whom He has formed;
And God planted a garden eastward in Edem, and placed there the man whom he had formed.
9 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.
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 is going out from Eden to water the garden, and from there it is parted, and has become four chief [rivers];
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] Pison, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of Havilah where the gold [is],
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; the bdellium and the shoham stone [are] there;
And the gold of that land is good, there also is carbuncle and emerald.
13 and the name of the second river [is] Gihon, it [is] that which is surrounding 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] Hiddekel, it [is] that which is going east of Asshur; and the fourth river is the 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 YHWH God takes the man, and causes him to rest in the Garden of Eden, to serve 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 YHWH God lays a charge on the man, saying, “From every tree of the garden eating you 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 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.”
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 YHWH God says, “[It is] not good for the man to be alone; I make him a helper as his counterpart.”
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 YHWH God builds up the rib which He has taken out of the man into a woman, and brings her to the man;
And God formed the rib which he took from Adam into a woman, and brought her to Adam.
23 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;
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 a man leaves his father and his mother, and has cleaved to his wife, and they have become 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 both of them are naked, the man and his wife, and they are not ashamed of themselves.
