| 2:1 |
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all
the host of them. |
| 2:2 |
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. |
| 2:3 |
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. |
| 2:4 |
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, |
| 2:5 |
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. |
| 2:6 |
But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered
the whole face of the ground. |
| 2:7 |
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. |
| 2:8 |
And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden;
and there he put the man whom he had formed. |
| 2:9 |
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. |
| 2:10 |
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and
from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. |
| 2:11 |
The name of the first is Pison: that is it which
compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is
gold; |
| 2:12 |
And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium
and the onyx stone. |
| 2:13 |
And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same
is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. |
| 2:14 |
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. |
| 2:15 |
And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the
garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. |
| 2:16 |
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every
tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: |
| 2:17 |
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. |
| 2:18 |
And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man
should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. |
| 2:19 |
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. |
| 2:20 |
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. |
| 2:21 |
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; |
| 2:22 |
And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man,
made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. |
| 2:23 |
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. |
| 2:24 |
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his
mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be
one flesh. |
| 2:25 |
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and
were not ashamed. |
