Genesis:2
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the heavens and the earth were finished ,
and all the host of them .
*
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 .
*
And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it ,
because in it He had rested from all His work which God created to make .
*
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 ,
*
and every shrub of the field was not yet on the earth ,
and every plant of the field had not yet sprung up .
For the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth ,
and [
there was ]
no man to till the ground .
*
But there went up from the earth a mist and watered all the face of the ground .
*
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 .
*
And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden .
And there He put the man whom He had formed .
*
And out of the ground the LORD God caused to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight ,
and good for food .
The tree of life also was in the middle of the garden ,
and the tree of knowledge of good and evil .
*
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden .
And from there it was divided and became four heads .
*
The name of the first [
is ]
Pishon ;
that [
is it ]
which surrounds all the land of Havilah ,
where [
there is ]
gold .
*
And the gold of that land [
is ]
good .
There [
is ]
bdellium and the onyx stone .
*
And the name of the second river [
is ]
Gihon ;
it [
is ]
the one that surrounds the whole land of Cush .
*
And the name of the third river [
is ]
Tigris ;
it [
is ]
that which goes toward the east of Assyria .
And the fourth river [
is ]
Euphrates .
*
And the LORD God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to work it and keep it .
*
And the LORD God commanded the man ,
saying ,
You may freely eat of every tree in the garden ,
*
but you shall not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil .
For in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die .
*
And the LORD God said , [
It is ]
not good that the man should be alone .
I will make a helper suitable for him .
*
And out of the ground the LORD God formed every animal of the field and every fowl of the air ,
and brought [
them ]
to Adam to see what he would call them .
And whatever Adam called [
each ]
living creature ,
that [
was ]
its name .
*
And Adam gave names to all the cattle ,
and to the birds of the air ,
and to every animal of the field .
But there was not found a suitable helper for Adam .
*
And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam ,
and he slept .
And He took one of his ribs ,
and closed up the flesh underneath .
*
And the LORD God made the rib (
which He had taken from the man )
into a woman .
And He brought her to the man .
*
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 .
*
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother ,
and shall cleave to his wife and they shall be one flesh .
*
And they were both naked ,
the man and his wife ;
and they were not ashamed .
