Chapter 2
And the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had made; and he rested
on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the
seventh day, and hallowed it; because that in it he rested from all his work
which God had created and made.
These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were
created, in the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven. And no plant of
the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up;
for Jehovah God had not caused it to rain upon the earth: and there was not a
man to till the ground; but there went up a mist from the earth, and watered
the whole face of the ground. And Jehovah 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 Jehovah God planted a garden eastward, in Eden; and there he
put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground made Jehovah 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 the knowledge of good
and evil. And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence
it was parted, and became four heads. The name of the first is Pishon: that
is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; and the
gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the ^3 onyx stone. And the
name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole
land of Cush. And the name of the third river is ^4 Hiddekel: that is it
which goeth ^5 in front of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
And Jehovah God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it
and to keep it. And Jehovah God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of
the garden thou mayest freely eat: 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.

And Jehovah God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will
make him a help ^6 meet for him. And out of the ground Jehovah God formed
every beast of the field, and every bird of the heavens; and brought them unto
the man to see what he would call them: and whatsoever the man called every
living creature, that was the name thereof. And the man gave names to all
cattle, and to the birds of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but
for ^7 man there was not found a help meet for him. And Jehovah God caused a
deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs,
and closed up the flesh instead thereof: and the rib, which Jehovah God had
taken from the man, ^8 made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And the
man said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be
called ^1 Woman, because she was taken out of ^2 Man. Therefore shall a man
leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they
shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were
not ashamed.
