2:1 And the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2:2 And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it; because in it he rested from all his work which God had created and made. 2:4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Yahweh God made earth and heaven. 2:5 And no plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain on the earth: and the man was not [there] to till the ground; 2:6 but there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. 2:7 And Yahweh God formed the man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living soul. 2:8 And Yahweh God planted a garden eastward, in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. 2:9 And out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is pleasant 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. 2:10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became four heads. 2:11 The name of the first is Pishon: that is it which circles the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; 2:12 and the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. 2:13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that circles the whole land of Cush. 2:14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it, which goes in front of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. 2:15 And Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. 2:16 And Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat: 2:17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you will not eat of it: for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die. 2:18 And Yahweh God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make a matching helper for him. 2:19 And out of the ground Yahweh God 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 soul, that was its name. 2:20 And the man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there wasn't found a matching helper for him. 2:21 And Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead of it: 2:22 and the rib, which Yahweh God had taken from the man, he made a woman, and brought her to the man. 2:23 And the man said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she will be called a woman, because she was taken out of a man. 2:24 Therefore will a man leave his father and his mother, and will stick to his wife: and they will be one flesh. 2:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. |
