| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made earth and heaven. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Now no shrub of the field was yet in the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for the LORD God had not sent rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6But a mist used to rise from the earth and water the whole surface of the ground. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8The LORD God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden; and there He placed the man whom He had formed. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Out of the ground the LORD God caused to grow every tree that is pleasing 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four rivers. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11The name of the first is Pishon; it flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12The gold of that land is good; the bdellium and the onyx stone are there. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13The name of the second river is Gihon; it flows around the whole land of Cush. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14The name of the third river is Tigris; it flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Then the LORD God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16The LORD God commanded the man, saying, "From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die." |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Then the LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him." |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22The LORD God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23The 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed. |
