Genesis 2

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] [42] [43] [44] [45] [46] [47] [48] [49] [50]

2:1 And the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

2:2 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.

2:3 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.

2:4 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.

2:5 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;

2:6 but there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

2:7 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.

2:8 And Jehovah God planted a garden eastward, in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

2:9 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.

2:10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became four heads.

2:11 The name of the first is Pishon: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;

2:12 and the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.

2:13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Cush.

2:14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth in front of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

2:15 And Jehovah God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

2:16 And Jehovah God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

2:17 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.

2:18 And Jehovah God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.

2:19 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.

2:20 And the man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but for man there was not found a help meet for him.

2:21 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:

2:22 and the rib, which Jehovah God had taken from the man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

2:23 And 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.

2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

2:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
