* And the heavens and the earth were finished , and the whole (note :)Or , order ; See Joh strkjv @1:10 (:note ) world of them . * * And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it , because in it he ceased from all his works which God (note :)Or , made in the beginning ; See Ac strkjv @1:1 (:note ) began to do . * This is the book of the generation of heaven and earth , when (note :)Or , it took place (:note ) they were made , in the day in which the Lord God made the heaven and the earth , * and every herb of the field before it was on the earth , and all the grass of the field before it sprang up , for God had not rained on the earth , and there was not a man to cultivate it . * But there rose a fountain out of the earth , and watered the whole face of the earth . * And God formed the man of dust of the earth , and breathed upon his face the breath of life , (note :)1 Co strkjv @15:45 (:note ) and the man became a living soul . * And God planted a garden eastward in Edem , and placed there the man whom he had formed . * And God made to spring up also out of the earth every tree beautiful (note :)Gr . for sight (:note ) to the eye and good for food , and the tree of life in the midst of the garden , and the tree of learning Or , that which is to be known ; Comp . Ro strkjv @1:19 the knowledge of good and evil . * And a river proceeds out of Edem to water the garden , thence it divides itself into four heads . * The name of the one , Phisom , this it is which encircles the whole land of Evilat , where there is gold . * And the gold of that land is good , there also is carbuncle and emerald . * And the name of the second river is Geon , this it is which encircles the whole land of Ethiopia . * And the third river is Tigris , this is that which flows forth over against the Assyrians . And the fourth river is Euphrates . * And the Lord God took the man whom he had formed , and placed him in the garden of Delight , to cultivate and keep it . * And the Lord God gave a charge to Adam , saying , Of every tree which is in the garden thou (note :)Or , eat for food (:note ) mayest freely eat , * but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil —of it ye shall not eat , but in whatsoever day ye eat of it , ye shall (note :)Or , die by death (:note ) surely die . * And the Lord God said , It is not good that the man should be alone , let us make for him a help (note :)Gr . according to him (:note ) suitable to him . * And God formed yet farther out of the earth all the wild beasts of the field , and all the birds of the sky , and he brought them to Adam , to see what he would call them , and whatever Adam called any living (note :)Gr . soul (:note ) creature , that was the name of it . * And Adam (note :)Gr . called (:note ) gave names to all the cattle and to all the birds of the sky , and to all the wild beasts of the field , but for Adam there was not found a help like to himself . * And God brought a trance upon Adam , and he slept , and he took one of his ribs , and filled up the flesh instead thereof . * And God (note :)Gr . built (:note ) formed the rib which he took from Adam into a woman , and brought her to Adam . * And Adam said , This now is bone (note :)Or , out of ; See the force of ek in Eph strkjv @5:30 .(:note ) of my bones , and flesh of my flesh ; she shall be called Or , wife woman , because she was taken out of In the Hebrews . the reason of the name appears ; She shall be called Issha because she was taken out of Ish her husband . * Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall (note :)Gr . be cemented ; Mt strkjv @19:5 (:note ) cleave to his wife , and they two shall be one flesh .
