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 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.
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 hallowed it: because that in it he rested from all his work which God had created and made.

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 no plant 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;
6 and a mist goes up from the earth, and has watered the whole face of the ground.
but there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
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.

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 went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became 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 first is Pishon: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, 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 is bdellium and the onyx stone.
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 Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Cush.
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.

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, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to 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 commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest 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, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt 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.”

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 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 called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
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 the man gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for man there was not found an help meet for him.

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 the rib, which the LORD God had taken from the man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
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 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.
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 unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
25 And both of them are naked, the man and his wife, and they are not ashamed of themselves.
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
