Chapter 2 | |
1 | Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. |
2 | And on the 1seventh day God ended his
work which he had made; and
2he rested on the seventh day from all his work
which he had made.
|
3 | And
God 1blessed 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
1watered 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;
1and man became a living
soul.
|
8 | And the LORD God
planted a 1garden 2eastward 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 1tree that is pleasant to the sight, and
good for food; the 2tree 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 1Havilah, 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 1Hiddekel: 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 1tree 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 1deep 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 1brought her unto the man.
|
23 | And Adam said, This is now 1bone of my
bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken
out of Man.
|
24 |
1Therefore
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. |
