Genesis Chapter 2

Genesis Chapter 2
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were
finished, and all the host of them. 2 For
in the seventh day God ended his work
which he had made, and the seventh day
he rested from all his work, which he
had made.
3 So God blessed the seventh day, and
sanctified it, because that in it he had
rested from all his work, which God had
created and made.
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, neither
was there a man to till the ground,
6 But a mist went up from the earth, and
watered all the earth. 7 The Lord God
also made the man of the dust of the
ground, and breathed in his face breath
of life, and the man was a living soul.
8 And the Lord God planted a garden
eastward in Eden, and there he put the
man whom he had made.
9 (For out of the ground made the Lord
God to grow every tree pleasant to the
sight, and good for meat: the tree of life
also in the midst of the garden, and the
tree of knowledge of good and of evil.
10 And out of Eden went a river to
water the garden, and from thence it was
divided, and became into four heads.
11 The name of one is Pison: the same
compasseth the whole land of Havilah,
where is gold.
12 And the gold of that land is good:
there is also bdellium, and the onyx
stone.
13 And the name of the second river is
Gihon: the same compasseth the whole
land of Cush.
14 The name also of the third river is
Hiddekel: this goeth toward the east side
of Assyria: and the fourth river is
Perath)
15 Then the Lord God took the man, and
put him into the Garden of Eden, that he
might dress it and keep it.
16 And the Lord God commanded the
man, saying, Thou shalt eat freely of
every tree of the garden,
17 But as touching the tree of knowledge
of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it:
for when so ever thou eatest thereof,
thou shalt die the death. 18 Also the
Lord God said, It is not good that the
man should be himself alone. I will
make him an help meet for him.
19 So the Lord God formed of the earth
every beast of the field, and every foul
of the heaven, and brought them unto the
man to see how he would call them: for
how so ever the man named the living
creature, so was the name thereof.
20 The man therefore gave names unto
all cattle, and to the foul of the heaven,
and to every beast of the field: but for
Adam found he not an help meet for him.
21 Therefore the Lord God caused an
heavy sleep to fall upon the man, and
whiles he slept, he took one of his ribs,
and closed up the flesh instead thereof.
22 And the rib which the Lord God had
taken from the man, made he a woman,
and brought her to the man.
23 Then the man said, This now is bone
of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She
shall be called woman, because she was
taken out of man.
24 Therefore shall man leave his father
and his mother, and shall cleave to his
wife, and they shall be one flesh.
25 And they were both naked, the man
and his wife, and were not ashamed.
