1
And the heavens and the earth were completed, and all the army of them.
2
And on◦ the seventh day God completed His work ▵* which He had made; and He ceased* on◦ the seventh day from all His work ▵ which He had made.
3
And God blessed the seventh day , and made· it ·holy, because◦ in it He ceased from all His work ▵ which God created to make.
4
These are the births of the heavens and of the earth when He created them, in the day in which Jehovah* God made the earth and the heavens .
5
And every shrub of the field was not··yet in the earth , and every herb of the field was not··yet growing, for Jehovah God had not caused it to rain on the earth . And there was no man to till the ground .
6
And He made a mist◦ to go··up from the land , and watered all the faces of the ground .
7
And Jehovah God formed man*, dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of lives*, and man became a living soul .
8
And Jehovah God planted a garden in Eden from the east, and there He set man whom He had formed .
9
And out··of the ground Jehovah God made to grow every tree desirable for seeing , and good for food; the tree of lives also, in the midst of the garden ; and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil .
10
And a river went··out from Eden to water◦ the garden , and from thence it was separated, and was made* into◦ four heads .
11
The name of the first◦ is Pishon; it◦ surrounds all the land of Havilah , where there is gold .
12
And the gold of that◦ land is good ; the bdellium and the onyx stone is there.
13
And the name of the second river is Gihon ; it◦ surrounds all the land of Cush .
14
And the name of the third river is Hiddekel ; it◦ is the one going◦ eastward··toward Assyria; and the fourth river , it◦ is Euphrates .
15
And Jehovah God took man, and placed him in the garden of Eden , to till it and to keep it.
16
And Jehovah God commanded man*, saying, Of every tree of the garden eating thou shalt 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 of it, dying thou shalt die .
18
And Jehovah God said , It is not good that man should be alone; I will make for him a help as with him.
19
And Jehovah God formed out··of the ground every animal of the field , and every fowl of the heavens , and brought it to▵ man to see what he would call it; and whatever man called a living soul , that◦ was its name .
20
And man gave* names to every beast , and to the fowl of the heavens , and to every wild··animal of the field ; but for man there was not found a help as with him.
21
And Jehovah God caused a deep··sleep to fall upon man, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs , and closed the flesh instead··of it.
22
And the rib which Jehovah God had taken from man, He built* into◦ a woman* and brought her to▵ man.
23
And man said , This one, this time◦ is bone from my bones and flesh from my flesh ; for this she shall be called a wife , for this was taken out··of a man ◦*.
24
Therefore shall a man ◦ leave◦ his father and his mother , and shall cleave to his wife , and they shall become one flesh .
25
And the two of them were naked , man and his wife , and were· not ·ashamed .
