< Genesis 2 >

1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
And the heavens and the earth are completed, and all their host;
2 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 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 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God 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 These [are] the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD 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 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and [there was] not a man to till 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 there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
and a mist goes up from the earth, and has watered the whole face of the ground.
7 And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
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 the LORD 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 made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of 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 thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
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] Pison, which compasseth 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] bdellium 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: the same that compasseth 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: which floweth toward the east 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 the Euphrates.
15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to dress it, and to keep 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 the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest 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, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest of it thou shalt 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 the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone: I will make him a help meet 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 the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air, and brought [them] to Adam to see what he would call them; and whatsoever Adam called every 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 Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowls of the air, and to every beast of the field: but for Adam there was not found a help meet 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 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its 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, which the LORD God had taken from man, he made 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 Adam said, This [is] now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she 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 shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they shall be 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.
