2 And God finished on the sixth day his works which he made, and he ceased on the seventh day from all his works which he made. And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.
3 And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it he ceased from all his works which God began to do. So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
4 This is the book of the generation of heaven and earth, when they were made, in the day in which the Lord God made the heaven and the earth, These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens. This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the LORD God made the earth and the heavens.
5 and every herb of the field before it was on the earth, and all the grass of the field before it sprang up, for God had not rained on the earth, and there was not a man to cultivate it. When no bush of the field was yet in the land and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up—for the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground, Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth and no plant had yet sprung up, for the LORD God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground,
6 But there rose a fountain out of the earth, and watered the whole face of the earth. and a mist was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground— but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
7 And God formed the man of dust of the earth, and breathed upon his face the breath of life, and the man became a living soul. then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.

8 And God planted a garden eastward in Edem, and placed there the man whom he had formed. And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. Now the LORD God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed.
9 And God made to spring up also out of the earth every tree beautiful to the eye and good for food, and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of learning the knowledge of good and evil. And out of the ground the LORD God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 And a river proceeds out of Edem to water the garden, thence it divides itself into four heads. A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers. A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters.
11 The name of the one, Phisom, this it is which encircles the whole land of Evilat, where there is gold. The name of the first is the Pishon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold.
12 And the gold of that land is good, there also is carbuncle and emerald. And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there. (The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx are also there.)
13 And the name of the second river is Geon, this it is which encircles the whole land of Ethiopia. The name of the second river is the Gihon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Cush. The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush.

And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 And the Lord God took the man whom he had formed, and placed him in the garden of Delight, to cultivate and keep it. The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
16 And the Lord God gave a charge to Adam, saying, Of every tree which is in the garden thou mayest freely eat, And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, And the LORD God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden;
17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil - of it ye shall not eat, but in whatsoever day ye eat of it, ye shall surely die. but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”

I will make a helper suitable for him.”
19 And God formed yet farther out of the earth all the wild beasts of the field, and all the birds of the sky, and he brought them to Adam, to see what he would call them, and whatever Adam called any living creature, that was the name of it. Now out of the ground the LORD God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.
20 And Adam gave names to all the cattle and to all the birds of the sky, and to all the wild beasts of the field, but for Adam there was not found a help like to himself. The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.
21 And God brought a trance upon Adam, and he slept, and he took one of his ribs, and filled up the flesh instead thereof. So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh.
22 And God formed the rib which he took from Adam into a woman, and brought her to Adam. And the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
23 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 her husband. Then the man said, “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.”
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.
25 And the two were naked, both Adam and his wife, and were not ashamed. And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed. Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.
