And the heaven and the earth were finished, and all the host of them

02:002

And on the seventh day G-d finished His work which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made

02:003

And G-d blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it; because that in it He rested from all His work which G-d in creating had made

02:004

/a and of the earth when they were created, in the day that HaShem G-d made earth and heaven

02:006

No shrub of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for HaShem G-d had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground

02:007

but there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground

02:008

Then HaShem G-d formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul

02:009

And HaShem G-d planted a garden eastward, in Eden; and there He put the man whom He had formed

02:010

And out of the ground made HaShem G-d to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil

02:011

And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became four heads

02:012

The name of the first is Pishon; that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold

02:013

and the gold of that land is good; there is bdellium and the onyx stone

02:014

And the name of the second river is Gihon; the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Cush

02:015

And the name of the third river is Tigris; that is it which goeth toward the east of Asshur And the fourth river is the Euphrates

02:016

And HaShem G-d took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it

02:017

And HaShem G-d commanded the man, saying: 'Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat

02:018

but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

02:019

And HaShem G-d said: 'It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.

02:020

And out of the ground HaShem G-d formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto the man to see what he would call them; and whatsoever the man would call every living creature, that was to be the name thereof

02:021

And the man gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found a help meet for him

02:022

NAME="21">21 And HaShem G-d caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the place with flesh instead thereof

02:023

And the rib, which HaShem G-d had taken from the man, made He a woman, and brought her unto the man

02:024

And the man said: 'This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

02:025

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh

02:026

And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed
