Genesis 2
- 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.
