Genesis 2:1-12 ▼

1 Thus the heauens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

2 For in the seuenth day GOD ended his worke which he had made, and the seuenth day he rested from al his worke, which he had made.

3 So God blessed the seuenth day, & sanctified it, because that in it he had rested from all his worke, which God had created and made.

4 These are the generations of the heauens and of the earth, when they were created, in the day that the Lorde God made the earth and the heauens,

5 And euery plant of the fielde, before it was in the earth, and euery herbe of the field, before it grewe: for the Lorde God had not caused it to raine vpon the earth, neither was there a man to till the ground,

6 But a myst went vp from the earth, and watered all the earth.

7 The Lord God also made the man of the dust of the grounde, and breathed in his face breath of life, and the man was a liuing soule.

8 And the Lord God planted a garden Eastward in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had made.

9 (For out of the grounde made the Lorde God to growe euery tree pleasant to the sight, and good for meate: the tree of life also in the middes of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and of euill.

10 And out of Eden went a riuer to water the garden, and from thence it was deuided, and became into foure heads.

11 The name of one is Pishon: the same compasseth the whole land of Hauilah, where is golde.

12 And the golde of that land is good: there is Bdelium, and the Onix stone.
