Genesis 2
1. So the heavens and the earth were finished, and all
the furniture of them.
2. 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 done.
3. And he blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it:
because in it he had rested from all his work which
God created and made.
4. These are the generations of the heaven and the earth,
when they were created, in the day that the Lord God
made the heaven and the earth:
5. And every plant of the field before it spring up
in the earth, and every herb of the ground before it
grew: for the Lord God had not rained upon the earth;
and there was not a man to till the earth.
6. But a spring rose out the earth, watering all the
surface of the earth.
7. And the Lord God formed man of the slime of the earth:
and breathed into his face the breath of life, and man
became a living soul.
8. And the Lord God had planted a paradise of pleasure
from the beginning: wherein he placed man whom he had
formed.
9. And the Lord God brought forth of the ground all
manner of trees, fair to behold, and pleasant to eat
of: the tree of life also in the midst of paradise:
and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
10. And a river went out the place of pleasure to water
paradise, which from thence is divided into four heads.
11. The name of the one is Phison: that is it which
compasseth all the land of Hevilath, where gold groweth.
12. And the gold of that land is very good: there is
found bdellium, and the onyx stone.
13. And the name of the second river is Gehon: the same
is it that compasseth all the land of Ethiopia
14. And the name of the third river is Tigris: the same
passeth along by the Assyrians. And the fourth river
is Euphrates.
15. And the Lord God took man, and put him into the
paradise for pleasure, to dress it, and keep it.
16. And he commanded him, saying: Of every tree of paradise
thou shalt eat:
17. But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou
shalt not eat. for in what day soever thou shalt eat
of it, thou shalt die the death.
18. And the Lord God said: It is not good for man to
be alone: let us make him a help like unto himself.
19. And the Lord God having formed out of the ground
all the beasts of the earth, and all the fowls of the
air, brought them to Adam to see what he would call
them: for whatsoever Adam called any living creature
the same is its name.
20. And Adam called all the beasts by their names, and
all the fowls of the air, and all the cattle of the
field: but for Adam there was not found a helper like
himself.
21. Then the Lord God cast a deep sleep upon Adam: and
when he was fast asleep, he took one of his ribs, and
filled up flesh for it.
22. And the Lord God built the rib which he took from
Adam into a woman: and brought her to Adam.
23. And Adam said: This now is bone of my bones, and
flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, because
she was taken out of man.
24. Wherefore a man shall leave father and mother, and
shall cleave to his wife: and they shall be two in one
flesh.
25. And they were both naked: to wit, Adam and his wife:
and were not ashamed.
