21 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed , and all their hosts . 2 By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done , and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done . 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made .
4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created , in the day that the Lord God made earth and heaven . 5 Now no e shrub of the field was yet in the earth , and no e plant of the field had yet sprouted , for the Lord God had not sent rain upon the earth , and there was no man to cultivate the ground . 6 But a mist used to rise from the earth and water the whole surface of the ground . 7 Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground , and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life ; and man became a living being .
8 The Lord God planted a garden toward the east , in Eden ; and there He placed the man whom He had formed . 9 Out of the ground the Lord God caused to grow every tree that is pleasing to the sight and good for food ; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden , and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil . 10 Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden ; and from there it divided and became four rivers . 11 The name of the first is Pishon ; it flows around the whole land of Havilah , where e there is gold . 12 The gold of that land is good ; the bdellium and the onyx stone are there . 13 The name of the second river is Gihon ; it flows around the whole land of Cush . 14 The name of the third river is Tigris ; it flows east of Assyria . And the fourth river is the Euphrates . 15 Then the Lord God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it.
16 The Lord God commanded the man , saying , "From any tree of the garden you may eat freely ; 17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat , for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die ."
18 Then the Lord God said , "It is not good for the man to be alone ; I will make him a helper suitable for him." 19 Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky , and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever e the man called a living creature , that was its name . 20 The man gave names to all the cattle , and to the birds of the sky , and to every beast of the field , but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him.
21 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man , and he slept ; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place . 22 The Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man , and brought her to the man . 23 The man 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 ." 24 For this reason e a man shall leave his father and his mother , and be joined to his wife ; and they shall become one flesh . 25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed .
