| 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 created1 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 there2 went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
|
|
| 7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust3 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.4
|
|
| 14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward5 the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
|
|
| 15 And the LORD God took the man,6 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 thou7 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 surely8 die.
|
|
| 18 ¶ And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet9 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 Adam10 to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
|
|
| 20 And Adam gave11 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, made12 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,13 because she was taken out of Man.14
|
|
| 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.
