Genesis 2
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their vast array.
And the heavens and the earth were finished, and the whole world 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 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 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 sanctified it, because in it he ceased from all his works which God began to do.
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.
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 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 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 but springs came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
But there rose a fountain out of the earth, and watered the whole face 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 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 God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
And God planted a garden eastward in Edem, and placed there the 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 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 went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it separated and became the source of four 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 Pishon; this is the one which goes around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
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. There is aromatic resin and the onyx stone.
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 goes around 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; this is the one which flows east of Ashur. And the fourth river is the Perath.
And the third river is Tigris, this is that which flows forth over against 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 the man whom he had formed, and placed him in the garden of Delight, to cultivate and keep it.
16 And God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely 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 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—of it you shall not eat, but in whatever day you eat of it, you shall surely 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 the rib that God had taken from the man he fashioned into a woman and brought 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 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 her husband.
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 shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
