Genesis 2
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their vast array.
So the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the furniture of them.
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 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 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 he blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
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 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 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 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 springs came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
But a spring rose out of the earth, watering all the surface of the earth.
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 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 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 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 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 there it separated and became the source of four rivers.
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; this is the one which goes around 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 aromatic resin 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; it goes around 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 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 Tigris: the same passeth along by the Assyrians. And the fourth river 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 the Lord God took man, and put him into the paradise of pleasure, to dress it, and to keep it.
16 And God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may 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, you shall not eat of it; for in the day that you eat of it you will 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 God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable 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 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 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 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 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 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.
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 that God had taken from the man he fashioned into a woman and brought her to 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 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 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 a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and the two will become 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.
