Genesis:2
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the heavens and the earth and all their host were finished .
*
And God had finished on the seventh day his work which he had made ;
and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made .
*
And God blessed the seventh day ,
and hallowed it ,
because that on it he rested from all his work which God had created in making it .
*
These are the histories of the heavens and the earth ,
when they were created ,
in the day that Jehovah Elohim made earth and heavens ,
*
and every shrub of the field before it was in the earth ,
and every herb of the field before it grew ;
for Jehovah Elohim had not caused it to rain on the earth ,
and there was no man to till the ground .
*
But a mist went up from the earth ,
and moistened the whole surface of the ground .
*
And Jehovah Elohim formed Man ,
dust of the ground ,
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life ;
and Man became a living soul .
*
And Jehovah Elohim planted a garden in Eden eastward ,
and there put Man whom he had formed .
*
And out of the ground Jehovah Elohim made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight ,
and good for food ;
and the tree of life ,
in the midst of the garden ,
and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil .
*
And a river went out of Eden ,
to water the garden ;
and from thence it was parted ,
and became four main streams .
*
The name of the one is Pison :
that is it which surrounds the whole land of Havilah ,
where the gold is .
*
And the gold of that land is good ;
bdellium and the onyx stone are there .
*
And the name of the second river is Gihon :
that is it which surrounds the whole land of Cush .
*
And the name of the third river is Hiddekel :
that is it which flows forward toward Asshur .
And the fourth river ,
that is Euphrates .
*
And Jehovah Elohim took Man ,
and put him into the garden of Eden ,
to till it and to guard it .
*
And Jehovah Elohim commanded Man ,
saying ,
Of every tree of the garden thou shalt freely eat ;
*
but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil ,
thou shalt not eat of it ;
for in the day that thou eatest of it thou shalt certainly die .
*
And Jehovah Elohim said ,
It is not good that Man should be alone ;
I will make him a helpmate ,
his like .
*
And out of the ground Jehovah Elohim had formed every animal of the field and all fowl of the heavens ,
and brought [
them ]
to Man ,
to see what he would call them ;
and whatever Man called each living soul ,
that was its name .
*
And Man gave names to all cattle ,
and to the fowl of the heavens ,
and to every beast of the field ;
but as for Adam ,
he found no helpmate ,
his like .
*
And Jehovah Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall upon Man ;
and he slept .
And he took one of his ribs and closed up flesh in its stead .
*
And Jehovah Elohim built the rib that he had taken from Man into a woman ;
and brought her to Man .
*
And Man said ,
This time it is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh :
this shall be called Woman ,
because this was taken out of a man .
*
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother ,
and cleave to his wife ;
and they shall become one flesh .
*
And they were both naked ,
Man and his wife ,
and were not ashamed .
