Genesis:2
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Thus the heavens and the earth ,
and all the host of them ,
were finished .
*
And on the seventh day God completed 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 consecrated it ,
because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made .
*
These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created ,
in the day that Jehovah God was making the earth and the heavens ,
*
before any shrub of the field was on the earth and before any green plant of the field had sprouted ;
for Jehovah God 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 watered the whole face of the ground .
*
And Jehovah 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 Jehovah God planted a garden eastward in Eden ,
and there He put the man whom He had formed .
*
And out of the ground Jehovah God made to sprout every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food .
The Tree of Life was also in the midst of the garden ,
and also the tree of the knowledge of good and evil .
*
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden ,
and from there it divided and became four heads .
*
The name of the first is Pishon ;
it is the one which circles around all the land of Havilah ,
where there is gold ;
*
and the gold of that land is good .
Bdellium and the onyx stone are there .
*
The name of the second river is Gihon ;
it is the one which circles around all the land of Cush .
*
The name of the third river is Tigris ;
it is the one going toward the east of Assyria .
The fourth river is Euphrates .
*
Then Jehovah God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it .
*
And Jehovah God commanded the man ,
saying ,
Of every tree of the garden you may eat to feed ;
*
but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat ,
for in the day that you eat of it you shall die the death .
*
And Jehovah God said ,
It is not good for the man to be alone ;
I will make him a helper to complement him .
*
Out of the ground Jehovah God formed every living thing of the field and every flying creature of the heavens ,
and brought them to the man to see what he would call them .
And whatever the man called each living creature ,
that was its name .
*
So the man gave names to all the animals ,
to the flying creatures of the heavens ,
and to every living thing of the field .
But for the man there was not found a helper to complement him .
*
And Jehovah God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam ,
and he slept ;
and He took one of his ribs ,
and closed up the flesh in its place .
*
And the rib which Jehovah God had taken out of the man He rebuilt into a woman ,
and He brought her to the man .
*
And the man said :
This now at last is bone from my bones and flesh from my flesh ;
she shall be called Woman ,
because she was taken out of man .
*
Therefore a man ,
leaving his father and mother ,
and having cleaved to his wife ,
they are one flesh .
*
And they were both naked ,
the man and his wife ,
and were not ashamed .
