Genesis 2
1 And the heavens and the earth are completed, and all their host;
And the heaven and the earth were finished, and all the host 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 finished His work which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made.
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 God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it; because that in it He rested from all His work which God in creating had 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 of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made earth and heaven.
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,
No shrub of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground;
6 and a mist goeth up from the earth, and hath watered the whole face of the ground.
but there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
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.
Then 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.
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 planted a garden eastward, in Eden; and there He put the 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 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 the 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 Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became 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 first is Pishon; that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12 and the gold of that land [is] good, there [is] the bdolach and the shoham stone;
and the gold of that land is good; there is 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 Gihon; the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Cush.
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; that is it which goeth toward the east of Asshur. And the fourth river is the 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 the man, and put him into the garden of Eden 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 the LORD God commanded the man, saying: 'Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely 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 the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.'
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 that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.'
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 out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto the man to see what he would call them; and whatsoever the man would call every living creature, that was to be the name thereof.
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 the man gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found a help meet for him.
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.
And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the place with flesh instead thereof.
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 rib, which the LORD God had taken from the man, made He a woman, and brought her unto the man.
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 the man 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.'
24 therefore doth a man leave his father and his mother, and hath cleaved unto his wife, and they have become one flesh.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be 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, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
