Thus the heavens and the earth
were completed
, and all
atheir hosts
.
By athe seventh day
God
completed
His work
which
He had done
, and bHe 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
1and made
.
1 aThis is the account
of the heavens
and the earth
when they were created
, in bthe day
that the LORD
God
made
earth
and heaven
.
aNow no shrub
of the field
was yet
in the earth
, and no
plant
of the field
had yet
sprouted
, bfor the LORD
God
had not sent
rain
upon the earth
, and there was no
man
to 1cultivate
the ground
.
But a 1mist used to rise
from the earth
and water
the whole
2surface
of the ground
.
Then the LORD God
formed
man
of adust
from the ground
, and breathed
into his nostrils
the breath
of life
; and bman
became
a living
1being
.
The LORD God
planted
a agarden
toward
the east
, in Eden
; and there
He placed
the man
whom
He had formed
.
Out of the ground the LORD
God
caused to grow
aevery
tree
that is pleasing
to the sight
and good
for food
; bthe tree
of life
also in the midst
of the garden
, and the tree
of the knowledge
of good
and evil
.
Now a ariver 1flowed
out of Eden
to water
the garden
; and from there
it divided
and became
four
2rivers
.
The name of the first
is Pishon
; it 1flows
around
the whole
land
of aHavilah
, where
there
is gold
.
The gold of that land
is good
; the bdellium
and the onyx
stone
are there
.
The name of the second
river
is Gihon
; it 1flows
around
the whole
land
of Cush
.
The name of the third
river
is 1 aTigris
; it 2flows
east
of Assyria
. And the fourth
river
is the 3 bEuphrates
.
Then the LORD God
took
the man
and put
him into the garden
of Eden
to cultivate
it and keep
it.
The LORD God
acommanded
the man
, saying
, "From any
tree
of the garden
you may eat
freely
;
but from the tree of the knowledge
of good
and evil
you shall not 1eat
, for in the day
that you eat
from it ayou will surely
die
."
Then the LORD God
said
, "It is not good
for the man
to be alone
; aI will make
him a helper
1suitable
for him."
aOut of the ground the LORD
God
formed
every
beast
of the field
and every
bird
of the 1sky
, and bbrought
them to the man
to see
what
he would call
them; and whatever
the man
called
a living
creature
, that was its name
.
The man gave
names
to all
the cattle
, and to the birds
of the 1sky
, and to every
beast
of the field
, but for 2Adam
there was not found
aa helper
3suitable
for him.
So the LORD God
caused a adeep
sleep
to fall
upon the man
, and he slept
; then He took
one
of his ribs
and closed
up the flesh
at that place
.
The LORD God
1fashioned
into a woman
athe rib
which
He had taken
from the man
, and brought
her to the man
.
The man said
, " aThis
is now
bone
of my bones
, And flesh
of my flesh
; 1She shall be called
2Woman
, Because
1she was taken
out of 3Man
."
aFor this reason
a man
shall leave
his father
and his mother
, and be joined
to his wife
; and they shall become
one
flesh
.
aAnd the man and his wife
were both
naked
and were not ashamed
.
