Genesis 2
1 Then the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the living things that filled them.
And the heavens and the earth were finished, and the whole world of them.
2 On the seventh day God came to the end of his work which he had done, and so he rested on the seventh day from all his work.
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 God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it he rested from all his work which he had done in his creation.
And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it he ceased from all his works which God began to do.
4 These were the events concerning the heavens and the earth, when they were created, on the day that Yahweh 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 No bush of the field was yet in the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no man 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 a mist went 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 Yahweh 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 Yahweh 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 Out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. This included the tree of life that was in the midst 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 A river went out of Eden to water the garden. From there it divided and became 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. It is the one which flows throughout 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 The gold of that land is good. There are also bdellium and the onyx stone.
And the gold of that land is good, there also is carbuncle and emerald.
13 The name of the second river is Gihon. This one flows throughout 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 The name of the third river is Tigris, which flows east of Ashur. The fourth river is the Euphrates.
And the third river is Tigris, this is that which flows forth over against the Assyrians. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
15 Yahweh God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to work it and to maintain 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 Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, “From every tree in 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 from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you may not eat, for on the day that you eat from 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 Then Yahweh 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 Out of the ground Yahweh God formed every animal of the field and every bird of the sky. Then he brought them to the man to see what he would call them. 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 The man gave names to all the livestock, to all the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field. But for the man himself there was found no 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 Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, so the man slept. Yahweh God took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh where he took the rib.
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 With the rib that Yahweh God had taken from the man, he made 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 The man said, “This time, this one is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called 'woman,' because she 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, he will be united to his wife, and they 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 They were both naked, the man and his wife, but were not ashamed.
