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.
