Genesis 2:7-22

⁷And the Lord God formed man of the slime of the earth: and breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul.

⁸And the Lord God had planted a paradise of pleasure from the beginning: wherein he placed man whom he had formed.

⁹And the Lord God brought forth of the ground all manner of trees, fair to behold, and pleasant to eat of: the tree of life also in the midst of paradise: and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

¹⁰And a river went out of the place of pleasure to water paradise, which from thence is divided into four heads.

¹¹The name of the one is Phison: that is it which compasseth all the land of Hevilath, where gold groweth.

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

¹³And the name of the second river is Gehon: the same is it that compasseth all the land of Ethiopia.

¹⁴And the name of the third river is Tigris: the same passeth along by the Assyrians. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

¹⁵And the Lord God took man, and put him into the paradise of pleasure, to dress it, and to keep it.

¹⁶And he commanded him, saying: Of every tree of paradise thou shalt eat:

¹⁷But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat. For in what day soever thou shalt eat of it, thou shalt die the death.

¹⁸And the Lord God said: It is not good for man to be alone: let us make him a help like unto himself.

¹⁹And the Lord God having formed out of the ground all the beasts of the earth, and all the fowls of the air, brought them to Adam to see what he would call them: for whatsoever Adam called any living creature the same is its name.

²⁰And Adam called all the beasts by their names, and all the fowls of the air, and all the cattle of the field: but for Adam there was not found a helper like himself.

²¹Then the Lord God cast a deep sleep upon Adam: and when he was fast asleep, he took one of his ribs, and filled up flesh for it.

²²And the Lord God built the rib which he took from Adam into a woman: and brought her to Adam.
