Genesis 2
1. 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 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 * .
