Genesis 2
1 And the heavens and the earth are completed, and all their host;
So the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the furniture of them.
2 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.
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 done.
3 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.
And he blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
4 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;
These are the generations of the heaven and the earth, when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the heaven and the earth:
5 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,
And every plant of the field before it sprung up in the earth, and every herb of the ground before it grew: for the Lord God had not rained upon the earth; and there was not a man to till the earth.
6 and a mist goeth up from the earth, and hath watered the whole face of the ground.
But a spring rose out of the earth, watering all the surface of the earth.
7 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.
And the Lord God formed man of the slime of the earth: and breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul.
8 And Jehovah God planteth a garden in Eden, at the east, and He setteth there the man whom He hath formed;
And the Lord God had planted a paradise of pleasure from the beginning: wherein he placed man whom he had formed.
9 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.
And the Lord God brought forth of the ground all manner of trees, fair to behold, and pleasant to eat of: the tree of life also in the midst of paradise: and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
10 And a river is going out from Eden to water the garden, and from thence it is parted, and hath become four chief [rivers];
And a river went out of the place of pleasure to water paradise, which from thence is divided into four heads.
11 the name of the one [is] Pison, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of the Havilah where the gold [is],
The name of the one is Phison: that is it which compasseth all the land of Hevilath, where gold groweth.
12 and the gold of that land [is] good, there [is] the bdolach and the shoham stone;
And the gold of that land is very good: there is found bdellium, and the onyx stone.
13 and the name of the second river [is] Gibon, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of Cush;
And the name of the second river is Gehon: the same is it that compasseth all the land of Ethiopia.
14 and the name of the third river [is] Hiddekel, it [is] that which is going east of Asshur; and the fourth river is Phrat.
And the name of the third river is Tigris: the same passeth along by the Assyrians. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
15 And Jehovah God taketh the man, and causeth him to rest in the garden of Eden, to serve it, and to keep it.
And the Lord God took man, and put him into the paradise of pleasure, to dress it, and to keep it.
16 And Jehovah God layeth a charge on the man, saying, 'Of every tree of the garden eating thou dost eat;
And he commanded him, saying: Of every tree of paradise thou shalt eat:
17 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.'
But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat. For in what day soever thou shalt eat of it, thou shalt die the death.
18 And Jehovah God saith, 'Not good for the man to be alone, I do make to him an helper — as his counterpart.'
And the Lord God said: It is not good for man to be alone: let us make him a help like unto himself.
19 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.
And the Lord God having formed out of the ground all the beasts of the earth, and all the fowls of the air, brought them to Adam to see what he would call them: for whatsoever Adam called any living creature the same is its name.
20 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.
And Adam called all the beasts by their names, and all the fowls of the air, and all the cattle of the field: but for Adam there was not found a helper like himself.
21 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.
Then the Lord God cast a deep sleep upon Adam: and when he was fast asleep, he took one of his ribs, and filled up flesh for it.
22 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;
And the Lord God built the rib which he took from Adam into a woman: and brought her to Adam.
23 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;
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 man.
24 therefore doth a man leave his father and his mother, and hath cleaved unto his wife, and they have become one flesh.
Wherefore a man shall leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they shall be two in one flesh.
25 And they are both of them naked, the man and his wife, and they are not ashamed of themselves.
And they were both naked: to wit, Adam and his wife: and were not ashamed.
