Genesis 2
2
1And so the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their heavenly #2:1 Lit host i.e., sun, stars, etc.lights. 2By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. 3Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on it He rested from all His work which God had created #2:3 Lit to makeand made.
The Creation of Man and Woman
4 # 2:4 Lit These are the generations This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made earth and heaven. 5Now no shrub of the field was yet on the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for the Lord God had not sent rain upon the earth, and there was no man to #2:5 Lit work, servecultivate the ground. 6But a #2:6 Or flowmist used to rise from the earth and water the whole #2:6 Lit face ofsurface of the ground. 7Then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living #2:7 Or soulperson. 8The Lord God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden; and there He placed the man whom He had formed. 9Out of the ground the Lord God caused every tree to grow that is pleasing to the sight and good for food; the tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10Now a river #2:10 Lit was going outflowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four #2:10 Lit headsrivers. 11The name of the first is Pishon; it #2:11 Lit surroundsflows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12The gold of that land is good; the bdellium and the onyx stone are there as well. 13The name of the second river is Gihon; it #2:13 Lit is the one surroundingflows around the whole land of Cush. 14The name of the third river is #2:14 Heb HiddekelTigris; it #2:14 Lit is the one goingflows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the #2:14 Heb PerathEuphrates.
15Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate it and tend it. 16The Lord God commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not #2:17 Lit eat from iteat, for on the day that you eat from it you will certainly die.”
18Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper #2:18 Lit corresponding tosuitable for him.” 19And out of the ground the Lord 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; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name. 20The man gave names to all the livestock, and to the birds of the sky, and to every animal of the field, but for #2:20 Or manAdam there was not found a helper #2:20 Lit corresponding tosuitable for him. 21So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. 22And the Lord God #2:22 Lit builtfashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. 23Then the man said,
“At last this is bone of my bones,
And flesh of my flesh;
# 2:23 Lit This one She shall be called #2:23 Heb ishshah‘woman,’
Because #2:23 Lit This oneshe was taken out of #2:23 Heb ishman.”
24For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. 25And the man and his wife were both naked, but they were not ashamed.

Genesis 2
1¶ Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2And 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.
3And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it because in it he had rested from all his work which God created in perfection.
4¶ These are the origins of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens
5and every plant of the field before it was in the earth and all the grass of the field before it grew, for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and neither was there a man to till the ground.
6But there went up a mist from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.
7And 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 had planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is desirable 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.
10And a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it was divided into four heads.
11The name of the first is Pison; that is it which compasses the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12and the gold of that land is good; there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
13And the name of the second river is Gihon; this is the same that compasses the whole land of Ethiopia.
14And the name of the third river is Hiddekel; this is that which goes toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
15And 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 may freely eat;
17but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou dost eat of it thou shalt 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.
19And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called every living soul, that was its name.
20And the man gave names to every beast, and to the fowl of the heavens, and to every animal of the field; but for the man 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 sides and closed up the flesh in its place;
22and the Lord God built that which he had taken from the side of the man into a woman and brought her unto the man.
23And the man 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.
24Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife; and they shall be one flesh.
25And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
