Genesis:2:1-25
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Thus the heavens and the earth ,
and all the host of them ,
were finished .
*
And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done ,
and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done .
*
Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it ,
because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made .
*
This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created ,
in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens ,
*
before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown .
For the LORD 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 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 being .
*
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 made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food .
The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden ,
and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil .
*
Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden ,
and from there it parted and became four riverheads .
*
The name of the first is Pishon ;
it is the one which skirts the whole 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 goes around the whole land of Cush .
*
The name of the third river is Hiddekel ;
it is the one which goes toward the east of Assyria .
The fourth river is the Euphrates .
*
Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it .
*
And the LORD 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 shall not eat ,
for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die ."
*
And the LORD God said , "
It is not good that man should be alone ;
I will make him a helper comparable to him ."
*
Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird 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 .
*
So Adam gave names to all cattle ,
to the birds of the air ,
and to every beast of the field .
But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him .
*
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 in its place .
*
Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made 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 a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife ,
and they shall become one flesh .
*
And they were both naked ,
the man and his wife ,
and were not ashamed .
