1The heavens , the earth , and all their vast array were finished .
2On the seventh day God finished his work which he had done ; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done .
3God blessed the seventh day , and made it holy , because he rested in it from all his work of creation which he had done .
4This is the history of 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 .[#2:4 When rendered in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, “” or “GOD” is the translation of God’s Proper Name (Hebrew “”, usually pronounced Yahweh).]
5No plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up ; for the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth. There was not a man to till the ground ,
6but a mist went up from the earth , and watered the whole surface of the ground .
7The LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground , and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life ; and man became a living soul .
8The LORD God planted a garden eastward , in Eden , and there he put the man whom he had formed .
9Out of the ground the LORD God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight , and good for food , including the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil .
10A river went out of Eden to water the garden ; and from there it was parted , and became the source of four rivers .
11The name of the first is Pishon : it flows through the whole land of Havilah , where there is gold ;
12and the gold of that land is good . Bdellium and onyx stone are also there .[#2:12 or, aromatic resin]
13The name of the second river is Gihon . It is the same river that flows through the whole land of Cush .
14The name of the third river is Hiddekel . This is the one which flows in front of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates .
15The LORD God took the man , and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it .
16The LORD God commanded the man , saying, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden ;
17but you shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil ; for in the day that you eat of it , you will surely die .”
18The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone . I will make him a helper comparable to him .”[#2:18 or, suitable for, or appropriate for.]
19Out of the ground the LORD God formed every animal of the field , and every bird of the sky , and brought them to the man to see what he would call them . Whatever the man called every living creature became its name .
20The man gave names to all livestock, and to the birds of the sky , and to every animal of the field ; but for man there was not found a helper comparable to him .
21The LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep . As the man slept , he took one of his ribs , and closed up the flesh in its place .
22The LORD God made a woman from the rib which he had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.
23The man said , “This is now bone of my bones , and flesh of my flesh . She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was taken out of Man .”
24Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh .
25The man and his wife were both naked , and they were not ashamed.
