Thus the
heavens and the earth were finished, and all the
host of them.
02 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.
03 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.
04 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,
05 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.
06 But there went up a mist from the earth,
and watered the whole face of the ground.
07 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.
08 And the Lord God planted a garden
eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom
he had formed.
09 And out of the ground made the Lord God
to grow every tree 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 knowledge of
good and evil.
10 And a river went out of Eden to water
the garden; and from thence it was parted, and
became into four heads.
11 The name of the first is Pison: that is
it which compasseth 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: the same is it that compasseth the whole
land of Ethiopia.

14 And the name of the third river is
Hiddekel: that is it which goeth 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 thou mayest
freely eat:
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the
day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely
die.
18 And the Lord God said, It is not good
that the man should be alone; I will make him an
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 unto 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 an 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, made he a woman, and brought her
unto the man.
23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my
bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called
Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father
and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife:
and they shall be one flesh.
25 And they were both naked, the man and
his wife, and were not ashamed.
