Genesis 2

¹And the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their host.

²And God finished on the seventh day his work which he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done.

³And God blessed the seventh day and he sanctified it, for in it he rested from all his work that God created in his making.

⁴These are the toledot of the heavens and the earth in their being created, in the day the Lord God made earth and heavens.

⁵and all the shrubs of the field before they were in the earth, and all the cultivated grains of the field before they sprouted, for the Lord God had not yet caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no man to serve the ground.

⁶but ground water went up from the earth and watered all the face of the ground.

⁷And the Lord God formed the man, dust from the ground. And he breathed into his nostrils breath of life. And the man became a living being.

⁸And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and he placed there the man whom he had formed.

⁹And the Lord God caused to sprout from the ground all trees, pleasant to sight and good for food, and the tree of life in the middle of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and bad.

¹⁰Now a river goes out of Eden to water the garden. And from there it separates and becomes four heads.

¹¹The name of the one, Pishon — It surrounds all the land of Havilah, where there is gold.

¹²(Now the gold of that land is good. Pearls and lapis lazuli are there.)

¹³And the name of the second, Gihon. It surrounds the land of Cush.

¹⁴And the name of the third, Tigris. It goes on the east of Assyria. And the name of the fourth, it is Euphrates.

¹⁵And the Lord God took the man. And he caused him to rest in the garden of Eden to serve it and to keep it.

¹⁶And the Lord God commanded the man, saying: From every tree of the garden you may freely eat.

¹⁷but from the tree of the knowledge of good and bad, you shall not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it, dying you shall die.

¹⁸And the Lord God said: It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a helper corresponding to him.

¹⁹And the Lord God formed from the ground every living creature of the field and every flying thing of the heavens, and he brought them to the man to see what he would call to it, and whatever the man would call to it, a living creature, that was its name.

²⁰And the man called names for all the livestock, and for the flying things of the heavens, and for all the living creatures of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper corresponding to him.

²¹And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept. And he took one of his sides and closed up flesh in its place.

²²And the Lord God built the side that he had taken from the man into a woman, and brought her to the man.

²³And the man said: This one this time — bone from my bones and flesh from my flesh. To this one shall be called ishah, for from ish this one was taken.

²⁴Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother, and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh.

²⁵And the two of them were naked, the man and his woman, and they were not ashamed.
