he rested
on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

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

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 compasseth 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 compasseth
the whole land of Ethiopia.
|
| 2:14
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.
|
| 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

|
| 2:17
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.
|
| 2:18

an help meet for him.

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 help meet
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

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.
