Genesis 2:7-22

⁷And Jehovah God formeth the man — dust from the ground, and breatheth into his nostrils breath of life, and the man becometh a living creature.

⁸And Jehovah God planteth a garden in Eden, at the east, and He setteth there the man whom He hath formed;

⁹and Jehovah God causeth to sprout from the ground every tree desirable for appearance, and good for food, and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

¹⁰And a river is going out from Eden to water the garden, and from thence it is parted, and hath become four chief rivers;

¹¹the name of the one is Pison, it is that which is surrounding the whole land of the Havilah where the gold is,

¹²and the gold of that land is good, there is the bdolach and the shoham stone;

¹³and the name of the second river is Gibon, it is that which is surrounding the whole land of Cush;

¹⁴and the name of the third river is Hiddekel, it is that which is going east of Asshur; and the fourth river is Phrat.

¹⁵And Jehovah God taketh the man, and causeth him to rest in the garden of Eden, to serve it, and to keep it.

¹⁶And Jehovah God layeth a charge on the man, saying, 'Of every tree of the garden eating thou dost eat;

¹⁷and of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou dost not eat of it, for in the day of thine eating of it — dying thou dost die.'

¹⁸And Jehovah God saith, 'Not good for the man to be alone, I do make to him an helper — as his counterpart.'

¹⁹And Jehovah God formeth from the ground every beast of the field, and every fowl of the heavens, and bringeth in unto the man, to see what he doth call it; and whatever the man calleth a living creature, that is its name.

²⁰And the man calleth names to all the cattle, and to fowl of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; and to man hath not been found an helper — as his counterpart.

²¹And Jehovah God causeth a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he sleepeth, and He taketh one of his ribs, and closeth up flesh in its stead.

²²And Jehovah God buildeth up the rib which He hath taken out of the man into a woman, and bringeth her in unto the man;
