The First Book of Moses, Commonly Called Genesis
2:1 And the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2:2And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 2:3And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it; because that in it he rested from all his work which God had created and made.
2:4These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven. 2:5And no plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Jehovah God had not caused it to rain upon the earth: and there was not a man to till the ground; 2:6but there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. 2:7And Jehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. 2:8And Jehovah God planted a garden eastward, in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. 2:9And out of the ground made Jehovah 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 the knowledge of good and evil. 2:10And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became four heads. 2:11The name of the first is Pishon: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; 2:12and the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. 2:13And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Cush. 2:14And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth in front of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. 2:15And Jehovah God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. 2:16And Jehovah God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 2:17but 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.
2:18And Jehovah God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make
him a help meet for him. 2:19And out of the ground Jehovah God formed every
beast of the field, and every bird of the heavens; and brought them unto the man
to see what he would call them: and whatsoever the man called every living
creature, that was the name thereof. 2:20And the man gave names to all cattle, and
to the birds of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but for man there was
not found a help meet for him. 2:21And Jehovah God caused a deep sleep to fall
upon the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh
instead thereof: 2:22and the rib, which Jehovah God had taken from the man, made
he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 2:23And the man 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. 2:24Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and
shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 2:25And they were both
naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
