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.
