Genesis 2:1-9 ▼

1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their vast array.

2 And on the sixth day God finished his works which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his works which he had made.

3 So God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested on it from all his works which God had created and made.

4 This is the account of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, at the time when God made the earth and the heavens.

5 Now no bush of the field was yet in the land, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted; for God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there were no people to cultivate the ground,

6 but springs came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.

7 And God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

8 And God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.

9 And out of the ground God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the middle of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
