gĢ5And the man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed. But for Adam e no suitable helper was found.Ģ1So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he slept, He took one of the man’s ribs f and closed up the area with flesh.Ģ2And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman and brought her to him.Ģ4For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. And whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.Ģ0The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. I will make for him a suitable helper.”ġ9And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and He brought them to the man to see what he would name each one. And in the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.ġ0Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it branched into four headwaters:ġ1The name of the first river is Pishon it winds through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.ġ2And the gold of that land is pure, and bdellium and onyx are found there.ġ3The name of the second river is Gihon it winds through the whole land of Cush.ġ4The name of the third river is Hiddekel it runs along the east side of Assyria.ġ5Then the LORD God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.ġ6And the LORD God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden,ġ7but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”ġ8The LORD God also said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. dĨAnd the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, where He placed the man He had formed.ĩOut of the ground the LORD God gave growth to every tree that is pleasing to the eye and good for food. aģThen God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on that day He rested from all the work of creation that He had accomplished.ĤThis is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD b God made them.ĥNow no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth, nor had any plant of the field sprouted for the LORD God had not yet sent rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground.ĦBut springs c welled up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.ħThen the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.
