¹ Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all ^(C1)their hosts.² And ^(F1)on ^(C1)the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and ^(C2)He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.³ Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on it He rested from all His work which God had created ^(F1)in making it.

The Generations of the Heavens and the Earth

^4 (C1)These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in ^(C2)the day that ^(F1)Yahweh God made earth and heaven.^5 (C1)Now no shrub of the field was yet in the earth, and no plant of the field had yet grown, ^(C2)for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no man to ^(F1)cultivate the ground.⁶ But a ^(F1)stream would rise from the earth and water the whole ^(F2)surface of the ground.⁷ Then Yahweh God formed man of ^(C1)dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and so the ^(C2)man became a living ^(F1)being.⁸ And Yahweh God planted a ^(C1)garden in Eden, toward the east; and there He placed the man whom He had formed.⁹ And out of the ground Yahweh God caused to grow ^(C1)every tree that is ^(C2)desirable in appearance and good for food; ^(C3)the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

¹⁰ Now a ^(C1)river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four ^(F1)rivers.¹¹ The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one that ^(F1)went around the whole land of ^(C1)Havilah, where there is gold.¹² Now the gold of that land is good; the bdellium and the onyx stone are there.¹³ And the name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one that ^(F1)went around the whole land of Cush.¹⁴ And the name of the third river is ^(F1)(C1)Tigris; it is the one that went east of ^(F2)Asshur. And the fourth river is the ^(F3)(C2)Euphrates.

¹⁵ Then Yahweh God took the man and ^(F1)set him in the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it.¹⁶ And Yahweh God ^(C1)commanded the man, saying, "From any tree of the garden you may surely eat;¹⁷ but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat from it; for in the day that you eat from it ^(C1)you will surely die."

¹⁸ Then Yahweh God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone; ^(C1)I will make him a helper ^(F1)suitable for him."^19 (C1)And out of the ground Yahweh God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the ^(F1)sky, and He ^(C2)brought each to the man to see what he would call it; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name.²⁰ And the man gave names to all the cattle and to the birds of the ^(F1)sky and to every beast of the field; but for ^(F2)Adam there was not found ^(C1)a helper ^(F3)suitable for him.²¹ So Yahweh God caused a ^(C1)deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place.²² And Yahweh God ^(F1)fashioned ^(C1)the rib, which He had taken from the man, into a woman, and He brought her to the man.²³ Then the man said,

"^(C1)This one finally is bone of my bones,
And flesh of my flesh;
This one shall be called ^(F1)Woman,
Because this one was taken out of ^(F2)Man."
