01:002:005 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.
01:002:006 But there went up a mist from the earth,
and watered the whole
face
of the ground.
01:002:007 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.
01:002:008 And the lord God planted a garden
eastward in Eden; and there
he
put the man whom he had formed.
01:002:009 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.
01:002:010 And a river went out of Eden to water the
garden; and from
thence
it was parted, and became into four heads.
01:002:011 The name of the first is Pison: that
is it which compasseth
the
whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
01:002:012 And the gold of that land is good:
there is bdellium and the
onyx
stone.
01:002:013 And the name of the second river is Gihon:
the same is it that
compasseth
the whole land of Ethiopia.
01:002:014 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.
01:002:015 And the lord God took the man, and
put him into the garden of
Eden
to dress it and to keep it.
01:002:016 And the lord God commanded the man,
saying, Of every tree of
the
garden thou mayest freely eat:
01:002:017 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.
01:002:018 And the lord God said, It is not good
that the man should be
alone;
I will make him an help meet for him.
01:002:019 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.
01:002:020 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.
01:002:021 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;
