Thus, the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the
seventh day God ended His work
which He had made, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He
had made. 3 And God blessed the
seventh day, and sanctified it, because that in it He had rested from all His
work which God created and
made.
4 These are the
generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day
that the Lord God made the earth
and the heavens, 5 and every plant of the field before it was in the
earth, and every herb of the field before it grew; for the Lord God had not
caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. 6
But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of
the ground. 7 And the Lord
God formed man of
the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and
man became a living soul.
8 And the Lord God planted
a garden eastward in Eden; and there He put the man whom He had formed. 9 And
out of the ground the Lord God made to grow
every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; also, the tree of
life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
10 And a river
went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became
into four heads. 11 The name of the first is Pison; it is that which
encompasses the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 And
the gold of that land is good; there is bdellium and the onyx stone. 13 And
the name of the second river is Gihon; it is the same that encompasses the
whole land of Ethiopia. 14 And the name of the third river is
Hiddekel; it is that which goes toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth
river is Euphrates.
15 And the Lord God took the
man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. 16 And
the Lord God commanded the
man, saying,
“Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat, 17 but
of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you must not eat of it, for in
the day that you eat thereof you will surely die.”
18 And the Lord God said,
“It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.”
19 And out of the
ground the Lord God formed every
beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them to Adam to see
what he would call them; and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that
was the name thereof. 20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to
the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was
not found a help meet for him. 21 And the Lord God caused a deep
sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed
up the flesh instead thereof. 22 And the rib, which the Lord God had
taken from man, He made a woman, and brought her to the man.
23 And Adam said,
“This is
now bone of my bones,
and
flesh of my flesh;
she will
be called Woman,
because
she was taken out of Man.”
24 Therefore a man
will leave his father and his mother, and will cleave to his wife; and they
will be one flesh.
25 And they were
both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
