Genesis 2:7-22

⁷And the Lord God created Adam from dust of the ground, and breathed upon his face the breath of lives, and it became in Adam a Discoursing Spirit.

⁸And the Lord God planted a garden in a region of pleasantness in the time of the beginning, and He made to dwell there the man whom He had created.

⁹And the Lord God caused to grow from the earth every tree desirable to look upon, and good for food, and the Tree of Life (Lives) in the midst of the garden, and the Tree of whose fruit they who eat know between good and evil.

¹⁰And a river went forth from Eden to water the garden, and from thence it was divided and became four heads of rivers (or four chief rivers).

¹¹The name of the first is Pishon, that which encompasseth all the land of Havilah, where is gold;

¹²and the gold of that land is good; there is bedalcha and Burilla stones.

¹³And the name of the second river is Gichon, which encompasseth all the land of Kush.

¹⁴And the name of the third river is Digelatlh, which goeth to the east of Athur. And the fourth river is Pherat.

¹⁵And the Lord God took Adam and placed him in the garden of Eden to culture it and keep it.

¹⁶And the Lord God commanded Adam, saying, Of every tree of the garden eating thou mayest eat;

¹⁷but of the tree of whose fruit they who eat know between good and evil thou shalt not eat; for in the day that thou eatest of it dying thou shalt die.

¹⁸And the Lord God said, It is not right that Adam should be solitary; I will make for him a helper as for his sake (or, as suited to him: Heb., kenegdo, as his counterpart).

¹⁹And the Lord God created from the earth every beast of the field and every fowl of the heavens, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call him; and every (name by) which Adam called the living animal, that was its name.

²⁰And Adam called the name of all cattle, and of the fowl of the heaven, and of every beast of the field; but to Adam was not found a helper as for him.

²¹And the Lord God threw a sleep upon Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and filled with flesh in place thereof;

²²and the Lord God builded the rib which He took from Adam into Woman, and He brought her unto Adam.
