Genesis 2

So the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts (inhabitants).

Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

And by the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested (ceased) on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.

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.

So God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it [as His own, that is, set it apart as holy from other days], because in it He rested from all His work which He had created and done.

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.

This is the history of [the origin of] the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day [that is, days of creation] that the ^[a]Lord God made the earth and the heavens—

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,

no shrub or plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprouted, for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to ^[b]cultivate the ground,

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.

but a ^[c]mist (fog, dew, vapor) used to rise from the land and water the entire surface of the ground—

But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

then the Lord God ^[d]formed [that is, created the body of] man from the ^[e]dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being [an individual complete in body and spirit].

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.

And the Lord God ^[f]planted a garden (oasis) in the east, in Eden (delight, land of happiness); and He put the man whom He had formed (created) there.

And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

And [in that garden] the Lord God caused to grow from the ground every tree that is desirable and pleasing to the sight and good (suitable, pleasant) for food; the tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the [experiential] knowledge (recognition) of [the difference between] good and evil.

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.

Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four [branching] rivers.

And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

The first [river] is named Pishon; it flows around the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold.

The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;

The gold of that land is good; bdellium (a fragrant, valuable resin) and the ^[g]onyx stone are found there.

And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.

The name of the second river is Gihon; it flows around the entire land of Cush [in Mesopotamia].

And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.

The third river is named Hiddekel (Tigris); it flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

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.

So the Lord God took the man [He had made] and settled him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.

And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “You may freely (unconditionally) eat [the fruit] from every tree of the garden;

And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

but [only] from the tree of the knowledge (recognition) of good and evil you shall not eat, otherwise on the day that you eat from it, you shall most certainly ^[h]die [because of your disobedience].”

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.

Now the Lord God said, “It is not good (beneficial) for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper [one who balances him—a counterpart who is] ^[i]suitable and complementary for him.”

And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

So the Lord God formed out of the ground every animal of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name.

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.

And the man gave names to all the livestock, and to the birds of the air, and to every animal of the field; but for Adam there was not found a helper [that was] suitable (a companion) for him.

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.

So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam; and while he slept, He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place.

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;

And the rib which the Lord God had taken from the man He made (fashioned, formed) into a woman, and He brought her and presented her to the man.

And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

Then Adam said,

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.

For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed or embarrassed.

And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
