Thus was heave and erth fynished wyth all their apparell:
2 On the seventh day God finished his work which he had done; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done.
ad i ye seueth daye god ended hys worke which he had made and rested in ye seventh daye fro all his workes which he had made.
3 God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work of creation which he had done.
And God blessed ye seventh daye and sanctyfyed it for in it he rested from all his workes which he had created and made.

5 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. There was not a man to till the ground,
and all the shrubbes of the felde be fore they were in the erthe. And all the herbes of the felde before they sprange: for the LORde God had yet sent no rayne vpon the erth nether was there yet any man to tylle the erth.
6 but a mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole surface of the ground.
But there arose a myste out of the ground and watered all the face of the erth:
7 Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Then the LORde God shope man even of the moulde of the erth and brethed into his face the breth of lyfe. So man was made a lyvynge soule.
8 Yahweh God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
The LORde God also planted a garden in Eden from the begynnynge and there he sette man whom he had formed.
9 Out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, including the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
And the LORde God made to sprynge out of the erth all maner trees bewtyfull to the syghte and pleasant to eate and the tree of lyfe in the middes of the garden: and also the tree of knowlege of good and euell.
10 A river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became the source of four rivers.
And there spronge a rever out of Eden to water the garden and thence devided it selfe and grewe in to foure principall waters.
11 The name of the first is Pishon: it flows through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
The name of the one is Phison he it is that compasseth all the lande of heuila where gold groweth.
12 and the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and onyx stone are also there.
And the gold of that contre ys precious there is found bedellion and a stone called Onix.
13 The name of the second river is Gihon. It is the same river that flows through the whole land of Cush.
The name of the seconde ryver is Gihon which compassyth all the lande of Inde.
14 The name of the third river is Hiddekel. This is the one which flows in front of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.
And the name of the thyrde river is Hidekell which runneth on the easte syde of the assyryans And the fourth river is Euphrates.
15 Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.
And the LORde God toke Adam and put him in the garden of Eden to dresse it and to kepe it:
16 Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;
and the LORde God comaunded Ada saynge: of all the trees of the garde se thou eate.
17 but you shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”
But of the tre of knowlege of good and badd se that thou eate not: for even ye same daye thou eatest of it thou shalt surely dye.
18 Yahweh God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to him.”
And the LORde God sayd: it is not good that man shulde be alone I will make hym an helper to beare him company:
19 Out of the ground Yahweh God formed every animal of the field, and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called every living creature became its name.
And after yt the LORde God had make of the erth all maner beastes of the felde and all maner foules of the ayre he brought them vnto Adam to see what he wold call them. And as Ada called all maner livynge beastes: eve so are their names.
20 The man gave names to all livestock, and to the birds of the sky, and to every animal of the field; but for man there was not found a helper comparable to him.
And Adam gave names vnto all maner catell and vnto the foules of the ayre and vnto all maner beastes of the felde. But there was no helpe founde vnto Adam to beare him companye
21 Yahweh God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. As the man slept, he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
Then the LORde God cast a slomber on Adam and he slepte. And then he toke out one of his rybbes and in stede ther of he fylled vp the place with flesh.
22 Yahweh God made a woman from the rib which he had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.
And the LORde God made of the rybbe which he toke out of Adam a woma and brought her vnto Adam.
23 The man 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.”
Then sayd Ada this is once bone of my boones and flesh of my flesh. This shall be called woman: because she was take of the man.
24 Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.
For this cause shall a man leve father and mother and cleve vnto his wyfe and they shall be one flesh.
25 The man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
And they were ether of them naked both Adam and hys wyfe ad were not ashamed:
