1 So the heavens, the earth, and everything in them were completed.

Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

2 On the seventh day, God finished the work He had been doing. On that day, He rested from all the work He had accomplished.

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

3 Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it He rested from all the work of creation that He had done.

And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

4 These are the records of the heavens and the earth when they were created, on the day the LORD God made the earth and the heavens.

These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

5 No bush of the field had yet appeared on the earth, and no plant of the field had sprouted, for the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no one to work the ground.

And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

6 But a mist would rise from the earth and water the entire surface of the ground.

But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

7 Then the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground, breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

8 The LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there He placed the man He had formed.

And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

9 The LORD God caused every tree that is beautiful in appearance and good for food to grow out of the ground, including the tree of life in the middle of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

And out of the ground made the LORD 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 knowledge of good and evil.

10 A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden. From there it divided and became four rivers.

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 Pishon, which circles through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold.

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

12 The gold of that land is pure, and aromatic resin and onyx stone are also found there.

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

13 The name of the second river is Gihon, which flows around the entire land of Cush.

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

14 The name of the third river is the Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.

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 The LORD God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to work it and to take care of it.

And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, 'You may surely eat from any tree of the garden,'

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

17 'but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for on the day you eat from it, you will surely die.'

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 Then the LORD God said, 'It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is suitable for him.'

And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

19 Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground every beast of the field and every bird of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them. Whatever the man called each living creature, that became its name.

And out of the ground the LORD God 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 The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the air, and to all the wild animals. But no suitable helper was found for the man.

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 So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and while he slept, He took one of his ribs and closed up the place with flesh.

And the LORD God 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 Then the LORD God formed the rib He had taken from the man into a woman and brought her to the man.

And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

23 The man said, 'This one, at last, is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called "woman," for she was taken out of man.'

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 For this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

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

25 The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.

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