Genesis 2
2 Thus
the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
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.
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.
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,
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 upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and 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.
8 And
the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there
he put the man whom he had 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.
10 And
a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
11 The name of the first is Pison: 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 bdellium and the onyx stone.
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the
same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria.
And the fourth river is Euphrates.
15 And
the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of
Eden to dress it and to keep it.
16 And
the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of
the garden thou mayest freely 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 thereof thou shalt
surely die.
18 And
the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be
alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
19 And out of the ground the Lord
God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them:
and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
20 And Adam 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 an help meet for him.
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 instead thereof;
22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto 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.
24 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 were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
