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.
