Genesis 2:7-22

⁷And God formed the man of dust of the earth, and breathed upon his face the breath of life, and the man became a living soul.

⁸And God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and placed there the man whom he had formed.

⁹And God made to spring up also out of the earth every tree beautiful to the eye and good for food, and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of learning the knowledge of good and evil.

¹⁰And a river proceeds out of Eden to water the garden, thence it divides itself into four heads.

¹¹The name of the one, Pishon, this it is which encircles the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.

¹²And the gold of that land is good, there also is carbuncle and emerald.

¹³And the name of the second river is Gihon, this it is which encircles the whole land of Ethiopia.

¹⁴And the third river is Tigris, this is that which flows forth over against the Assyrians. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

¹⁵And the Lord God took the man whom he had formed, and placed him in the garden of Delight, to cultivate and keep it.

¹⁶And the Lord God gave a charge to Adam, saying, Of every tree which is in the garden thou mayest freely eat,

¹⁷but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil—of it ye shall not eat, but in whatsoever day ye eat of it, ye shall surely die.

¹⁸And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone, let us make for him a help suitable to him.

¹⁹And God formed yet farther out of the earth all the wild beasts of the field, and all the birds of the sky, and he brought them to Adam, to see what he would call them, and whatever Adam called any living creature, that was the name of it.

²⁰And Adam gave names to all the cattle and to all the birds of the sky, and to all the wild beasts of the field, but for Adam there was not found a help like to himself.

²¹And God brought a trance upon Adam, and he slept, and he took one of his ribs, and filled up the flesh instead thereof.

²²And God formed the rib which he took from Adam into a woman, and brought her to Adam.
