Genesis 2
1 And the heaven and the earth and all things in them were complete.
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their vast array.
2 And on the seventh day God came to the end of all his work; and on the seventh day he took his rest from all the work which he had done.
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 And God gave his blessing to the seventh day and made it holy: because on that day he took his rest from all the work which he had made and done.
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 These are the generations of the heaven and the earth when they were made.
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 In the day when the Lord God made earth and heaven there were no plants of the field on the earth, and no grass had come up: for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no man to do work on the land.
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 a mist went up from the earth, watering all the face of the land.
but springs came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
7 And the Lord God made man from the dust of the earth, breathing into him the breath of life: and man became a living soul.
And God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
8 And the Lord God made a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had made.
And God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 And out of the earth the Lord made every tree to come, delighting the eye and good for food; and in the middle of the garden, the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
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.
10 And a river went out of Eden giving water to the garden; and from there it was parted and became four streams.
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it separated and became the source of four rivers.
11 The name of the first is Pishon, which goes round about all the land of Havilah where there is gold.
The name of the first is Pishon; this is the one which goes around 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.
and the gold of that land is good. There is aromatic resin and the onyx stone.
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: this river goes round all the land of Cush.
And the name of the second river is Gihon; it goes around the whole land of Cush.
14 And the name of the third river is Tigris, which goes to the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
And the name of the third river is Hiddekel; this is the one which flows east of Ashur. And the fourth river is the Perath.
15 And the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to do work in it and take care of it.
And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and take care of it.
16 And the Lord God gave the man orders, saying, You may freely take of the fruit of every tree of the garden:
And God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;
17 But of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you may not take; for on the day when you take of it, death will certainly come to you.
but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it; for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die."
18 And the Lord God said, It is not good for the man to be by himself: I will make one like himself as a help to him
And God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him."
19 And from the earth the Lord God made every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and took them to the man to see what names he would give them: and whatever name he gave to any living thing, that was its name.
And out of the ground God formed every tame animal, and every wild animal, and every flying creature of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.
20 And the man gave names to all cattle and to the birds of the air and to every beast of the field; but Adam had no one like himself as a help.
And the man gave names to all the tame animals, and to all the flying creatures of the sky, and to every wild animal; but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him.
21 And the Lord God sent a deep sleep on the man, and took one of the bones from his side while he was sleeping, joining up the flesh again in its place:
So 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 at that place.
22 And the bone which the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman, and took her to the man.
And the rib that God had taken from the man he fashioned into a woman and brought her to the man.
23 And the man said, This is now bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh: let her name be Woman because she was taken out of Man.
And the man said, "This at last is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called Woman, because this one was taken out of Man."
24 For this cause will a man go away from his father and his mother and be joined to his wife; and they will be one flesh.
Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and the two will become one flesh.
25 And the man and his wife were without clothing, and they had no sense of shame.
And They were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
