Genesis

Gen
2:1 The heavens and the earth were finished, and all their vast
array.
Gen
2:2 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.
Gen
2:3 God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested
in it from all his work which he had created and made.
Gen
2:4 This is the history of the generations of the heavens and of the
earth when they were created, in the day that Yahweh God made the
earth and the heavens.
Gen
2:5 No plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the
field had yet sprung up; for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain on
the earth. There was not a man to till the ground,
Gen
2:6 but a mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole surface
of the ground.
Gen
2:7 Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed
into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Gen
2:8 Yahweh God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put
the man whom he had formed.
Gen
2:9 Out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is
pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in
the middle of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil.
Gen
2:10 A river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it
was parted, and became four heads.
Gen
2:11 The name of the first is Pishon: this is the one which flows
through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
Gen
2:12 and the gold of that land is good. There is aromatic resin and
the onyx stone.
Gen
2:13 The name of the second river is Gihon: the same river that
flows through the whole land of Cush.
Gen
2:14 The name of the third river is Hiddekel: this is the one which
flows in front of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.
Gen
2:15 Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to
dress it and to keep it.
Gen
2:16 Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of
the garden you may freely eat;
Gen
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 of it you will surely
die."
Gen
2:18 Yahweh God said, "It is not good that the man should be
alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him."
Gen
2:19 Out of the ground Yahweh 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. Whatever the man called every living creature, that
was its name.
Gen
2:20 The man gave names to all livestock, and to the birds of the
sky, and to every animal of the field; but for man there was not
found a helper suitable for him.
Gen
2:21 Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he
slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its
place.
Gen
2:22 He made the rib, which Yahweh God had taken from the man, into
a woman, and brought her to the man.
Gen
2:23 The man said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of
my flesh. She will be called Woman, because she was taken out of
Man."
Gen
2:24 Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will
join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.
Gen
2:25 They were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not
ashamed.
