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 finished 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 in it he rested from all his work which God had created and made .
*
These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created ,
in the day that Yahweh God made earth and heaven .
*
And no plant of the field was yet in the earth ,
and no herb of the field had yet sprung up ;
for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain on the earth :
and the man was not [
there ]
to till the ground ;
*
but there went up a mist from the earth ,
and watered the whole face of the ground .
*
And Yahweh God formed the man of the dust of the ground ,
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life ;
and the man became a living soul .
*
And Yahweh God planted a garden eastward ,
in Eden ;
and there he put the man whom he had formed .
*
And out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow 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 the knowledge of good and evil .
*
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden ;
and from there it was parted ,
and became four heads .
*
The name of the first is Pishon :
that is it which circles the whole 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 :
the same is it that circles the whole land of Cush .
*
And the name of the third river is Hiddekel :
that is it ,
which goes in front of Assyria .
And the fourth river is the Euphrates .
*
And Yahweh God took the man ,
and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it .
*
And Yahweh God commanded the man ,
saying ,
Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat :
*
but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil ,
you will not eat of it :
for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die .
*
And Yahweh God said ,
It is not good that the man should be alone ;
I will make a matching helper for him .
*
And out of the ground Yahweh God formed every beast of the field ,
and every bird of the heavens ;
and brought them to the man to see what he would call them :
and whatever the man called every living creature ,
that was its name .
*
And the man gave names to all cattle ,
and to the birds of the heavens ,
and to every beast of the field ;
but for Adam there wasn '
t found a matching helper for him .
*
And Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man ,
and he slept ;
and he took one of his ribs ,
and closed up the flesh instead of it :
*
and the rib ,
which Yahweh God had taken from the man ,
he made a woman ,
and brought her to the man .
*
And the man said ,
This is now bone of my bones ,
and flesh of my flesh :
she will be called a woman ,
because she was taken out of a man .
*
Therefore will a man leave his father and his mother ,
and will stick to his wife :
and they will be one flesh .
*
And they were both naked ,
the man and his wife ,
and were not ashamed .
