1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day YAHUAH ended his work which he had made; and he rested
on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And YAHUAH blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he
had rested from all his work which YAHUAH created and made.
4 These [are] the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were
created, in the day that the Shalat YAHUAH made the earth and the heavens,
5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the
field before it grew: for the Shalat YAHUAH had not caused it to rain upon the
earth, and [there was] not a man to till the ground.
6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the
ground.
7 And the Shalat YAHUAH formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed
into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
8 ¶ And the Shalat YAHUAH planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put
the man whom he had formed.
9 And out of the ground made the Shalat YAHUAH 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 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 into four heads.
11 The name of the first [is] Pison: that [is] it which compasseth the whole
land of Havilah, where [there is] gold;
12 And the gold of that land [is] good: there [is] bdellium and the onyx stone.
13 And the name of the second river [is] Gihon: the same [is] it that compasseth
the whole land of Ethiopia.
14 And the name of the third river [is] Hiddekel: that [is] it which goeth
toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river [is] Euphrates.
15 And the Shalat YAHUAH took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to
dress it and to keep it.
16 ¶ And the Shalat YAHUAH commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden
thou mayest 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 thereof thou shalt surely die.
18 ¶ And the Shalat YAHUAH said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone;
I will make him an help meet for him.
19 And out of the ground the Shalat YAHUAH formed every beast of the field, and
every fowl of the air; and brought [them] unto Adam to see what he would call
them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that [was] the name
thereof.
20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every
beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
21 ¶ And the Shalat YAHUAH caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept:
and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22 And the rib, which the Shalat YAHUAH had taken from man, made he a woman, and
brought her unto the man.
23 And Adam 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.
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto
his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
