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;
01:002:022 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a
woman, and brought her unto the man.
