1 Thus the heav­ens and the earth were fin­ished, and all the host 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 made. 3 And God blessed the sev­enth day, and sanc­ti­fied it: be­cause that in it he had rest­ed from all his work which God cre­at­ed and made. 4 These are 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 And ev­ery 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 upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. 6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and wa­tered the whole face of the ground. 7 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 soul. 8 And the LORD God plant­ed a gar­den east­ward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. 9 And out 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 And a riv­er went out of Eden to wa­ter the gar­den; and from thence it was part­ed, and be­came into four heads. 11 The name of the first is Pi­son: that is it which com­pas­seth the whole land of Hav­i­lah, where there is gold; 12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdel­li­um and the onyx stone. 13 And the name of the sec­ond riv­er is Gi­hon: the same is it that com­pas­seth the whole land of Ethiopia. 14 And the name of the third riv­er is Hid­dekel: that is it which goeth to­ward the east of As­syr­ia. And the fourth riv­er is Eu­phrates. 15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the gar­den of Eden to dress it and to keep it. 16 And the LORD God com­mand­ed the man, say­ing, Of ev­ery tree of the gar­den thou mayest freely eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowl­edge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eat­est there­of thou shalt sure­ly die. 18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. 19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed ev­ery beast of the field, and ev­ery fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and what­so­ev­er Adam called ev­ery liv­ing crea­ture, that was the name there­of. 20 And Adam gave names to all cat­tle, and to the fowl of the air, and to ev­ery beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. 21 And the 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 in­stead there­of; 22 And the rib, which the LORD God had tak­en from man, made he a wom­an, and brought her unto the man. 23 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. 24 There­fore shall a man leave his fa­ther and his moth­er, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
