GENESIS · Chapter 2
2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of
them.
2:2 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.
2:3 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.
2:4 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,
2:5 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.
2:6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole
face of the ground.
2:7 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.
2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he
put the man whom he had formed.
2:9 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.
2:10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence
it was parted, and became into four heads.
2:11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasses the
whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
2:12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx
stone.
2:13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that
compasses the whole land of Ethiopia.
2:14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which
goes toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of
Eden to dress it and to keep it.
2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the
garden you may freely eat:
2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not
eat of it: for in the day that you eat thereof you shall surely die.
2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone;
I will make him an associated helper for him.
2:19 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.
2:20 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 associated
helper for him.
2:21 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;
2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a
woman, and brought her unto the man.
2:23 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.
2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall
cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
2:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
