[1]Thusthe heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
[2]Andon 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.
[3]AndGod blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
[4]Theseare 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.
[5]Andevery plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
[6]Butthere went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
[7]Andthe 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.
[8]Andthe LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
[9]Andout of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree 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 knowledge of good and evil.
[10]Anda river went out of Eden to water the garden: and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
[11]Thename of the first is Pison, which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
[12]Andthe gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx-stone.
[13]Andthe name of the second river is Gihon: the same that compasseth the whole land of Cush.
[14]Andthe name of the third river is Hiddekel: which floweth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
[15]Andthe LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to dress it, and to keep it.
[16]Andthe LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
[17]Butof the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest of it thou shalt surely die.
[18]Andthe LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone: I will make him a help meet for him.
[19]Andout of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them; and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was its name.
[20]AndAdam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowls of the air, and to every beast of the field: but for Adam there was not found a help meet for him.
[21]Andthe LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
[22]Andthe rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, he made woman, and brought her to the man.
[23]AndAdam 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.
[24]Thereforeshall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
[25]Andthey were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
