Genesis 2:1-9 ▼

1 The heauens also & the earth were finisshed, & all the hoast of them.

2 And in the seuenth day God ended his worke whiche he had made. And the seueth day he rested from all his worke which he had made.

3 And God blessed the seuenth daye, & sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his worke whiche God ordeyned to make.

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

5 And euery plant of the fielde before it was in the earth, and euery hearbe of the fielde before it grewe. For the Lord God had not yet caused it to rayne vppon the earth, neither was there a man to tyll the grounde.

6 But there went vp a miste from the earth, & watered the whole face of the grounde.

7 The Lorde God also dyd shape man, euen dust fro of the grounde, & breathed into his nosethrylles the breath of lyfe, and man was a lyuyng soule.

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

9 Moreouer, out of the grounde made the Lorde God to growe euery tree, that was fayre to syght, and pleasaunt to eate: The tree of lyfe in the myddest of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and euyll.
