Genesis 2
1 And the heavens and the earth are completed, and all their host;
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their vast array.
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 sixth day God finished his works which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his works 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.
So God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested on it from all his works which God had 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;
This is the account of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, at the time when God made the earth and the heavens.
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,
Now no bush of the field was yet in the land, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted; for God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there were no people to cultivate the ground,
6 and a mist goeth up from the earth, and hath watered the whole face of the ground.
but springs came up from the earth and watered the whole surface 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.
And God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
8 And Jehovah God planteth a garden in Eden, at the east, and He setteth there the man whom He hath formed;
And 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 God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the middle 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 there it separated and became the source of four rivers.
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; this is the one which goes around 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 aromatic resin 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; it goes around 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 Hiddekel; this is the one which flows east of Ashur. And the fourth river is the Perath.
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 God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and take care of it.
16 And Jehovah God layeth a charge on the man, saying, 'Of every tree of the garden eating thou dost eat;
And God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may 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, you shall not eat of it; for in the day that you eat of it you will 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 God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable 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 God formed every tame animal, and every wild animal, and every flying creature of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called each living creature, that was 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 the man gave names to all the tame animals, and to all the flying creatures of the sky, and to every wild animal; but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable 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.
So God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh at that place.
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 that God had taken from the man he fashioned into a woman and brought her to 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 at last is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called Woman, because this one 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 a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and the two will become 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.
