Genesis 2:7-22

⁷Therefore the Lord God formed man of the slime of the earth, and breathed into his face the breathing of life; and man was made into a living soul.

⁸Forsooth the Lord God planted at the beginning paradise of liking or the garden of Eden, wherein he set man whom he had formed.

⁹And the Lord God brought forth of the earth each tree fair in sight, and sweet to eat; also he brought forth the tree of life in the midst of paradise, and the tree of knowing of good and of evil.

¹⁰And a river went out from the place of liking or Eden to moist paradise or the garden, which river is parted from thence into four heads.

¹¹The name of the one river is Pishon, that it is that encompasseth all the land of Havilah, where gold cometh forth,

¹²and the gold of that land is the best, and there is found bdellium, that is, a tree of spicery, and the stone onyx;

¹³and the name of the second river is Gihon, that it is that encompasseth all the land of Ethiopia;

¹⁴forsooth the name of the third river is Tigris, that goeth against Assyrians; soothly the fourth river is that Euphrates.

¹⁵Therefore the Lord God took man, and set him in paradise of liking, that he should work and keep it.

¹⁶And God commanded to him and said, Eat thou of each tree of paradise;

¹⁷forsooth eat thou not of the tree of knowing of good and of evil; for in whatever day thou shalt eat thereof, thou shalt die by death.

¹⁸And the Lord God said, It is not good that a man be alone; make we to him an helper like to himself.

¹⁹And therefore when all living beasts of the earth, and all the volatiles of heaven, were formed of the earth, the Lord God brought those or them to Adam, that he should see what he should call those or them; for all thing that Adam called of living soul, that is the name thereof.

²⁰And Adam called by their names all living things, and all volatiles of heavens, and all unreasonable beasts of the earth. Forsooth to Adam was not found an helper like him.

²¹Therefore the Lord God sent sleep into Adam, and when he slept, God took one of his ribs, and filled flesh for it.

²²And the Lord God builded the rib which he had taken from Adam into a woman, and brought her to Adam.
