Genesis 2:1-12 ▼

1 And the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their host.

2 And God finished by the seventh day His work that He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work that He had done.

3 And God blessed the seventh day, and He sanctified it, because on it He ceased from all His work that God had created for making.

4 These are the generations of the heavens and the earth in their being created, in the day when YHWH God made the earth and the heavens.

5 And any bush of the field had not yet come to be on the earth, and any plant of the field had not yet sprouted, for YHWH God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and man was not there to work the ground.

6 And a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.

7 And YHWH God formed the man from dust of the ground, and He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living soul.

8 And YHWH God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and He put there the man whom He had formed.

9 And YHWH God made sprout from the ground every tree that is pleasing to the sight and good for food, and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

10 And a river went forth from Eden to water the garden, and from there it was divided and became four heads:

11 The name of the one is Pishon; it is the one winding through the whole land of the Havilah, where there is the gold.

12 And the gold of that land is good, and the bdellium and the onyx stone are there.
