Genesis 2:4-18
-
4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
-
5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
-
6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
-
7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
-
8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
-
9 And out of the ground made the LORD God 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 knowledge of good and evil.
-
10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
-
11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
-
12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
-
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
-
14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
-
15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
-
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
-
17 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.
-
18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
