The Genesis
Chapter
2
1 So the skies and the lands were complete, as was all the arranging of them. 2 God finished the work that He did on the sixth day, and on the seventh day He rested from all the works that He did. 3 Then God blest the seventh day and made it holy, because He'd finished all the work that He started out to do.
4 This was the scroll of the origins of the sky and the land and of when they became, in the day that The God spoke the sky and the land, 5 when all the greenish-yellow plants for it began on the ground and all the grasses of the fields sprung up. Since Jehovah God had not provided rain on the earth, and there were no men to cultivate it, 6 springs poured from the ground and watered the entire surface of the earth.
7 Then God formed man from the dust of the ground, breathed the breath of life against his face, and He became a living creature.
8 And thereafter, God planted a Paradise on the east side of Edem, where He put the man whom he had formed. 9 And it was there that God caused every tree that was attractive to look at and worthy as food to spring from the ground. [He also] put the Tree of Life in the middle of the Paradise, as well as the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
10 A river flowed out of Edem to water the Paradise, and from there [came the] head [waters] of four [rivers]. 11 The name of the [first river] is Phison. It encircles the entire land of Evilat, where there is gold 12 (and the gold from that land is good), as well as coal and ornamental stone. 13 The name of the second river is Geon. It runs around the land of Kush. 14 The third river is the Tigris. It flows over toward the Assyrians. And the fourth river is the EuPhrates.
15 Then Jehovah God took the man that He had formed and put him in the Paradise of Delights so He could cultivate it and care for it. 16 And Jehovah God gave these instructions to Adam: 'You are free to eat from all the trees of Paradise, 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Because, on whatever day you eat from it, your life will end and you will die.'
18 And Jehovah God said: 'It isn't good for the man to be alone, so let's make a helper for him.'
19 Well, after God had made all the wild animals of the plains and all the winged creatures of the skies (from the [dirt]), He brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living animal was what its name became. 20 So Adam named all the cattle, all the winged creatures of the skies, and all the wild animals of the plains. Yet, a suitable helper that was like Adam couldn't be found.
21 God then put Adam into a trance, and while he was sleeping, took one of his ribs and filled the place where it was with flesh. 22 Then God built the rib that He took from Adam into a woman and brought her to Adam. 23 And Adam said, 'This is now bone from my bones and flesh from my flesh. She will be called woman, because she was taken from man. 24 And because of this, a man will leave his father and mother and bond with his woman, and the two will become one flesh.'
