Genesis 2
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their vast array.
And the heavens and the earth are completed, and all their host;
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 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.
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 blesses the seventh day, and sanctifies it, for in it He has ceased from all His work which God had created for making.
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 heavens and of the earth in their being created, in the day of YHWH God’s making the earth and the 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 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,
6 but springs came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
and a mist goes up from the earth, and has watered the whole face 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 YHWH God forms the man—dust from the ground, and breathes into his nostrils breath of life, and the man becomes a living creature.
8 And God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
And YHWH God plants a garden in Eden, at the east, and He sets there the man whom He has 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 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.
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 is going out from Eden to water the garden, and from there it is parted, and has become four chief [rivers];
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 first [is] Pison, it [is] that which is surrounding 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; the bdellium and the shoham 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, it [is] that which is surrounding 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, it [is] that which is going east of Asshur; and the fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 And God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and take care of it.
And YHWH God takes the man, and causes him to rest in the Garden of Eden, to serve it and to keep it.
16 And God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;
And YHWH God lays a charge on the man, saying, “From every tree of the garden eating you 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 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.”
18 And God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him."
And YHWH God says, “[It is] not good for the man to be alone; I make him a helper as his counterpart.”
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
22 And the rib that God had taken from the man he fashioned into a woman and brought her to the man.
And YHWH God builds up the rib which He has taken out of the man into a woman, and brings her to the 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 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;
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 a man leaves his father and his mother, and has cleaved to his wife, and they have become one flesh.
25 And They were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
And both of them are naked, the man and his wife, and they are not ashamed of themselves.
