Chapter 2
- 2:1
- Thus the
heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
- 2:2
- 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.
- 2:3
- 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.
- 2:4
- 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,
- 2:5
- 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.
- 2:6
- But there
went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the
ground.
- 2:7
- 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.
- 2:8
- And the
LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man
whom he had formed.
- 2:9
- 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.
- 2:10
- And a
river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was
parted, and became into four heads.
- 2:11
- The name
of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of
Havilah, where there is gold;
- 2:12
- And the
gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
- 2:13
- And the
name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the
whole land of Ethiopia.
- 2:14
- 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.
- 2:15
- And the
LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it
and to keep it.
- 2:16
- And the
LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou
mayest freely eat:
- 2:17
- 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.
- 2:18
- And the
LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will
make him an help meet for him.
- 2:19
- 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.
- 2:20
- 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.
- 2:21
- 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;
- 2:22
- And the
rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and
brought her unto the man.
- 2:23
- 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.
- 2:24
- Therefore
shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his
wife: and they shall be one flesh.
- 2:25
- And they
were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
