1God finished making everything. He finished making the sky, and the earth, and everything that is on this earth too.
2He made everything in those 6 days, and on day number 7 God stopped making things and rested on that day.
3So God made day number 7 a good special day. He said, “I’ve finished making everything now, and I’m resting on day number 7. So day number 7 has to be a special day for people to rest and remember God.”
4God made the earth and the sky. This story is about the things he made.
5At that time God didn’t send any rain and there were no people on the earth to make the ground right for the plants. So nothing was growing in that land at that time.
6Water used to come up from under the ground and water the top of the ground.
7God took some dirt and he made a man out of it. Then God blew wind into the man’s nose. It was the kind of wind that gives life. Then that man became a living person.
8Then God made a garden and called it Eden. It was in the east part of the land. God put the man into that garden.
9And God made some trees grow there in that garden. They were pretty, and they had good fruit. And God put 2 special trees right in the middle of the garden. If people eat the fruit of one of those trees they will always stay alive, and if they eat the fruit from the other tree they will know about the things they do, if they are good or if they are bad.
10A river flowed through Eden, and it watered the garden. Then that river split into 4 rivers.
11The 1st river was called Pishon. It flowed around the land called Havilah. In that country there was lots of gold, and pretty stones, and a good-smelling gum that comes from a tree.
13The 2nd river was called Gihon. It flowed all around the country called Cush.
14The 3rd river was called Tigris. It flowed east of the country called Assyria. The 4th river was called Euphrates.
15God put the man into the garden and gave him a job. He had to look after the garden and make sure all the plants grew strong and healthy.
16God talked to the man in the garden, he said, “You can eat fruit from the trees in this garden.
17There is only one tree that you can’t eat its fruit. You can’t eat the fruit from that tree that lets you know when you do things that are good, and when you do things that are bad. I’m telling you, if you eat any fruit from that tree you will die, for sure.”
18God talked again. He said, “It is not good that this man is living by himself. I’m going to make somebody else to be a mate for the man. This person will be good for the man.”
19So God made all the animals and the birds. He brought every animal and every bird to the man. God wanted the man to give all the birds and animals their names. The man could say any name he wanted for each animal, and those names stayed with them.
20The man gave each animal a name. He named all the wild animals, all the animals that were not wild, and all the birds. That man’s own name was Adam. He looked around at all these animals and birds, but he couldn’t find the right kind of mate that was good for him.
21So God made the man go to sleep properly, and while he was asleep, God opened up the man’s body and took out one of his rib bones. Then God closed the hole in the man’s body.
22Then God used that rib bone to make a mate for the man. God made a woman from that rib bone. After the man woke up, God took the woman over to the man.
23The man looked at that woman. He said, “Good, I have a mate now. She has come from a part of me. God used my rib bone to make her bones. Yes, he used my body to make her body. She came from a man’s body, so I’m going to call her woman.”
24God made that woman out of that man’s body. This is why a man will now leave his mother and father and marry a woman. The man and his wife will join with each other, and their bodies will be like one body again. The man and the woman didn’t have any clothes on. They were both naked, but they were not ashamed.
