Genesis 2
1 Thus were finished the heavens and the earth and all their host.
And the heavens and the earth are completed, and all their host;
2 Thus God finished, on the seventh day his work which he had made, and rested, on the seventh day, from all his work which he had made.
and God completeth by the seventh day His work which He hath made, and ceaseth by the seventh day from all His work which He hath made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it, —because therein, rested he from all his work which God, by creating, had made.
And God blesseth the seventh day, and sanctifieth it, for in it He hath ceased from all His work which God had prepared for making.
4 These are the geneses of the heavens and the earth when they were created, —in the day when Yahweh God made earth and heavens.
These [are] births of the heavens and of the earth in their being prepared, in the day of Jehovah God's making earth and heavens;
5 Now, no bush of the field, as yet—was in the earth, and, no herb of the field, as yet had sprung up, —because Yahweh God had not sent rain on the earth, and, man, was there none to till the ground;
and no shrub of the field is yet in the earth, and no herb of the field yet sprouteth, for Jehovah God hath not rained upon the earth, and a man there is not to serve the ground,
6 but, a vapour, went up from the earth, —and watered all the face of the ground.
and a mist goeth up from the earth, and hath watered the whole face of the ground.
7 So then Yahweh God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed in his nostrils the breath of life—and man became a living soul.
And Jehovah God formeth the man — dust from the ground, and breatheth into his nostrils breath of life, and the man becometh a living creature.
8 And Yahweh God planted a garden in Eden, on the east, —and put there the man whom he had formed.
And Jehovah God planteth a garden in Eden, at the east, and He setteth there the man whom He hath formed;
9 And Yahweh God, caused to spring up, out of the ground, every tree 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.
and Jehovah God causeth 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 knowledge of good and evil.
10 Now, a river, was coming forth out of Eden, to water the garden, —and, from thence, it parted, and became four heads,
And a river is going out from Eden to water the garden, and from thence it is parted, and hath become four chief [rivers];
11 The name of the one, is Pishon, —the same, is that which surroundeth all the land of Havilah, where is gold;
the name of the one [is] Pison, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of the Havilah where the gold [is],
12 moreover the gold of that land, is good, —there, is the bdellium, and the beryl stone,
and the gold of that land [is] good, there [is] the bdolach and the shoham stone;
13 And the name of the second river, is Gihon, —the same, is that which surroundeth all the land of Cush,
and the name of the second river [is] Gibon, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of Cush;
14 And, the name of the third river, is Hiddekel, the same, is that which goeth in front of Assyria; and the fourth river, is Euphrates.
and the name of the third river [is] Hiddekel, it [is] that which is going east of Asshur; and the fourth river is Phrat.
15 So Yahweh God took the man, —and placed him in the garden of Eden, to till it and to keep it.
And Jehovah God taketh the man, and causeth him to rest in the garden of Eden, to serve it, and to keep it.
16 And Yahweh God laid command on the man, saying, —Of every tree of the garden, thou mayest eat;
And Jehovah God layeth a charge on the man, saying, 'Of every tree of the garden eating thou dost eat;
17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it, —for in the day thou eatest thereof, thou shalt die.
and of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou dost not eat of it, for in the day of thine eating of it — dying thou dost die.'
18 And Yahweh God said, It is, not good, that the man should remain alone, —I will make for him a helper as his counterpart.
And Jehovah God saith, 'Not good for the man to be alone, I do make to him an helper — as his counterpart.'
19 Now Yahweh God had formed from the ground every living thing of the field and every bird of the heavens, which he brought in unto the man, that he might see what he should call it, —and, whatsoever the man should call it—any living soul, that, should be the name thereof.
And Jehovah God formeth from the ground every beast of the field, and every fowl of the heavens, and bringeth in unto the man, to see what he doth call it; and whatever the man calleth a living creature, that [is] its name.
20 So the man gave names to all the tame-beasts, and to the birds of the heavens, and to all the wild-beasts of the field, —but, for man, had there not been found a helper as his counterpart.
And the man calleth names to all the cattle, and to fowl of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; and to man hath not been found an helper — as his counterpart.
21 So Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept, —and he took one of his ribs, and closed up flesh instead thereof.
And Jehovah God causeth a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he sleepeth, and He taketh one of his ribs, and closeth up flesh in its stead.
22 And Yahweh God builded the rib which he had taken from the man, into a woman, and brought her in unto the man.
And Jehovah God buildeth up the rib which He hath taken out of the man into a woman, and bringeth her in unto the man;
23 And the man said, This, one, now, is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh! This, one shall be called Woman, for, out of a man, hath this one been taken.
and the man saith, 'This [is] the [proper] step! bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh!' for this it is called Woman, for from a man hath this been taken;
24 For this cause, will a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave unto his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
therefore doth a man leave his father and his mother, and hath cleaved unto his wife, and they have become one flesh.
25 And they were both of them naked, the man and his wife, —and put not each other to shame.
And they are both of them naked, the man and his wife, and they are not ashamed of themselves.
