Genesis 2
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their vast array.
And the heavens and the earth and all their host were finished.
2 And on the sixth day God finished his works which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his works which he had made.
And God had finished on the seventh day his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 So God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested on it from all his works which God had created and made.
And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it, because that on it he rested from all his work which God had created in making it.
4 This is the account of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, at the time when God made the earth and the heavens.
These are the histories of the heavens and the earth, when they were created, in the day that Jehovah Elohim made earth and heavens,
5 Now no bush of the field was yet in the land, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted; for God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there were no people to cultivate the ground,
and every shrub of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew; for Jehovah Elohim had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground.
6 but springs came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
But a mist went up from the earth, and moistened the whole surface of the ground.
7 And God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
And Jehovah Elohim formed Man, dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and Man became a living soul.
8 And God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
And Jehovah Elohim planted a garden in Eden eastward, and there put Man whom he had formed.
9 And out of the ground God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the middle of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
And out of the ground Jehovah Elohim made every tree grow that is 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 Eden to water the garden; and from there it separated and became the source of four rivers.
And a river went out of Eden, to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became four main streams.
11 The name of the first is Pishon; this is the one which goes around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
The name of the one is Pison: that is it which surrounds the whole land of Havilah, where the gold is.
12 and the gold of that land is good. There is aromatic resin and the onyx stone.
And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and the onyx stone are there.
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon; it goes around the whole land of Cush.
And the name of the second river is Gihon: that is it which surrounds the whole land of Cush.
14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel; this is the one which flows east of Ashur. And the fourth river is the Perath.
And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which flows forward toward Asshur. And the fourth river, that is Euphrates.
15 And God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and take care of it.
And Jehovah Elohim took Man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to till it and to guard it.
16 And God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;
And Jehovah Elohim commanded Man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou shalt freely eat;
17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it; for in the day that you eat of it you will surely 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 of it thou shalt certainly die.
18 And God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him."
And Jehovah Elohim said, It is not good that Man should be alone; I will make him a helpmate, his like.
19 And out of the ground God formed every tame animal, and every wild animal, and every flying creature of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.
And out of the ground Jehovah Elohim had formed every animal of the field and all fowl of the heavens, and brought [them] to Man, to see what he would call them; and whatever Man called each living soul, that was its name.
20 And the man gave names to all the tame animals, and to all the flying creatures of the sky, and to every wild animal; but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him.
And Man gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but as for Adam, he found no helpmate, his like.
21 So God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh at that place.
And Jehovah Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall upon Man; and he slept. And he took one of his ribs and closed up flesh in its stead.
22 And the rib that God had taken from the man he fashioned into a woman and brought her to the man.
And Jehovah Elohim built the rib that he had taken from Man into a woman; and brought her to Man.
23 And the man said, "This at last is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called Woman, because this one was taken out of Man."
And Man said, This time it is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh: this shall be called Woman, because this was taken out of a man.
24 Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and the two will become one flesh.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
And they were both naked, Man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
