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

² And God had finished on the seventh day his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

³ And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it, because that on it he rested from all his work which God had created in making it.

⁴ These are the histories of the heavens and the earth, when they were created, in the day that Jehovah Elohim made earth and heavens,

⁵ and every shrub of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew; for Jehovah Elohim had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground.

⁶ But a mist went up from the earth, and moistened the whole surface of the ground.

⁷ And Jehovah Elohim formed Man, dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and Man became a living soul.

⁸ And Jehovah Elohim planted a garden in Eden eastward, and there put Man whom he had formed.

⁹ And out of the ground Jehovah Elohim made every tree grow that is pleasant 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 out of Eden, to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became four main streams.

¹¹ The name of the one is Pison: that is it which surrounds the whole land of Havilah, where the gold is.

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

¹³ And the name of the second river is Gihon: that is it which surrounds the whole land of Cush.

¹⁴ And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which flows forward toward Asshur. And the fourth river, that is Euphrates.

¹⁵ And Jehovah Elohim took Man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to till it and to guard it.

¹⁶ And Jehovah Elohim commanded Man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou shalt freely 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 thou shalt certainly die.

¹⁸ And Jehovah Elohim said, It is not good that Man should be alone; I will make him a helpmate, his like.

¹⁹ And out of the ground Jehovah Elohim had formed every animal of the field and all fowl of the heavens, and brought [them] to Man, to see what he would call them; and whatever Man called each living soul, that was its name.

²⁰ And Man gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but as for Adam, he found no helpmate, his like.

²¹ And Jehovah Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall upon Man; and he slept. And he took one of his ribs and closed up flesh in its stead.

²² And Jehovah Elohim built the rib that he had taken from Man into a woman; and brought her to Man.

²³ And Man said, This time it is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh: this shall be called Woman, because this was taken out of a Man.

²⁴ Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.

²⁵ And they were both naked, Man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

¹ It happened in the eleventh year, in the third [month], in the first [day] of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

² Son of man, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude: Whom are you like in your greatness?

³ Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with beautiful branches, and with a forest-like shade, and of high stature; and its top was among the thick boughs.

⁴ The waters nourished it, the deep made it to grow: its rivers ran all around its plantation; and it sent out its channels to all the trees of the field.

⁵ Therefore its stature was exalted above all the trees of the field; and its boughs were multiplied, and its branches became long by reason of many waters, when it shot [them] forth.

⁶ All the birds of the sky made their nests in its boughs; and under its branches did all the animals of the field bring forth their young; and under its shadow lived all great nations.

⁷ Thus was it beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its root was by many waters.

⁸ The cedars in the garden of God could not hide it; the fir trees were not like its boughs, and the plane trees were not as its branches; nor was any tree in the garden of God like it in its beauty.

⁹ I made it beautiful by the multitude of its branches, so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied it.

¹⁰ Therefore thus said the Lord Yahweh: Because you are exalted in stature, and he has set his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;

¹¹ I will even deliver him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations; he shall surely deal with him; I have driven him out for his wickedness.

¹² Strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: on the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the watercourses of the land; and all the peoples of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.

¹³ On his ruin all the birds of the sky shall dwell, and all the animals of the field shall be on his branches;

¹⁴ to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves in their stature, neither set their top among the thick boughs, nor that their mighty ones stand up on their height, [even] all who drink water: for they are all delivered to death, to the lower parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with those who go down to the pit.

¹⁵ Thus says the Lord Yahweh: In the day when he went down to Sheol I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained its rivers; and the great waters were stayed; and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.

¹⁶ I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to Sheol with those who descend into the pit; and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, were comforted in the lower parts of the earth.

¹⁷ They also went down into Sheol with him to those who are slain by the sword; yes, those who were his arm, [that] lived under his shadow in the midst of the nations.

¹⁸ To whom are you thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet you will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the lower parts of the earth: you shall lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, says the Lord Yahweh.
