Genesis 2:7-22

⁷And the Lord God made man from the dust of the earth, breathing into him the breath of life: and man became a living soul.

⁸And the Lord God made a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had made.

⁹And out of the earth the Lord made every tree to come, delighting the eye and good for food; and in the middle of the garden, the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

¹⁰And a river went out of Eden giving water to the garden; and from there it was parted and became four streams.

¹¹The name of the first is Pishon, which goes round about all the land of Havilah where there is gold.

¹²And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.

¹³And the name of the second river is Gihon: this river goes round all the land of Cush.

¹⁴And the name of the third river is Tigris, which goes to the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

¹⁵And the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to do work in it and take care of it.

¹⁶And the Lord God gave the man orders, saying, You may freely take of the fruit of every tree of the garden:

¹⁷But of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you may not take; for on the day when you take of it, death will certainly come to you.

¹⁸And the Lord God said, It is not good for the man to be by himself: I will make one like himself as a help to him

¹⁹And from the earth the Lord God made every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and took them to the man to see what names he would give them: and whatever name he gave to any living thing, that was its name.

²⁰And the man gave names to all cattle and to the birds of the air and to every beast of the field; but Adam had no one like himself as a help.

²¹And the Lord God sent a deep sleep on the man, and took one of the bones from his side while he was sleeping, joining up the flesh again in its place:

²²And the bone which the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman, and took her to the man.
