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. |
