1. The heavens and the earth were completed, and all their host.
2. God completed his work on the seventh day that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done.
3. God blessed the seventh day and consecrated it, because in it he rested from all his work which God created and made.
4. These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day Yahweh God made the earth and the heavens.
5. No shrub of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet grown, for Yahweh God had not sent rain on the earth, and there was no man to work the ground.
6. A mist rose from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
7. Yahweh God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living soul.
8. Yahweh God planted a garden in Eden, eastward, and placed there the man whom he had formed.
9. Yahweh God caused every tree to sprout from the ground—trees desirable in appearance 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.
10. A river flowed from Eden to irrigate the garden, and from there it divided and became four heads.
11. The name of the first is Pishon: it encircles the whole land of Havilah, where gold is.
12. That land's gold is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there.
13. The name of the second river is Gihon; it surrounds the whole land of Cush.
14. The name of the third river is Hiddekel; it flows east of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.
15. Yahweh God took the man and placed him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.
16. Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, "You may freely eat from every tree of the garden."
17. But from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you shall surely die.
18. Yahweh God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him."
19. Yahweh God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky from the ground, brought them to the man to see what he would name them, and whatever the man named every living creature, that was its name.
20. The man named all the livestock, the birds of the sky, and all the animals of the field, but a helper corresponding to him was not found for the man.
21. Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; he took one of his ribs and closed the flesh in its place.
22. Yahweh God fashioned the rib that he had taken from the man into a woman and brought her to the man.
23. The man said, "This at last—bone from my bones, flesh from my flesh; this one will be called woman, because she was taken from man."
24. For this reason a man forsakes his father and his mother, clings to his wife, and they become one flesh.
25. Both the man and his wife were naked, and they were not ashamed.
