1 Thus the
heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host [the whole world], of them.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested [ceased] 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 [ceased] from all his work which God created, [which God began to do] and made.
4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth [This [is] the book of the generation of heaven and Earth] when they were created [made], 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 [a fountain] 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 [upon his face], 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 learning the 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 [carbuncle and emerald].
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 [Tigris]; that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth
river is Euphrates.
15 And the LORD God took the man, whom he had formed, and put him into the garden of Eden [garden of Delight] to dress [to cultivate] 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, suitable 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 [like to himself].
21 And the
LORD God caused a deep sleep [a trance] 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 [from
Adam], made he a woman, and brought her unto the man [to Adam].
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 [of
her husband].
24 Therefore
shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife:
and they two shall be one flesh.
25 And they two were both naked, the man and his
wife, and were not ashamed.
