‏ Genesis 2

CHAPTER 2

Completion of Heaven and Earth

1And [⁶were completed ¹the ²heaven ³and ⁴the ⁵earth], and all the cosmos of them. 2And God completed in the [²day   ¹sixth]   his works which he did. And he rested on the [²day   ¹seventh] from all   his works which he did. 3And God blessed the [²day   ¹seventh], and sanctified it; for in it he rested from all   his works -- which God began to do. 4This is the book of the origin of heaven and earth, when it became, in the day [²made   ¹God] the heaven and the earth, 5and every green field before   it existed upon the earth, and all grass of the field before   its rising, [⁴did not ¹for ⁵rain ²the lord    ³God] upon the earth, and [³man ²no ¹there was] to work it. 6But a spring ascended from out of the earth, and it watered all the face of the earth.

God Shapes Man

7And God shaped the man, [²dust ¹taking] from the earth. And he breathed into   his face breath of life, and [²became   ¹man] a [²soul ¹living]. 8And God planted paradise in Eden according to the east, and he put there the man whom he shaped. 9And [²caused to rise up   ¹God] yet from the earth every [²tree ¹beautiful] to the sight, and good for food, and the tree   of life in the midst of the paradise, and the tree, the one to know knowing good and evil. 10And a river goes forth from Eden to water the paradise; from there it separates into four sources. 11The name to the one is Phison. This is  the one  encircling all the land of Havilah -- [⁵there ¹where ⁴is ²the ³gold]. 12And the gold   of that land is good, and there is the carbuncle and the [²stone   ¹leek colored]. 13And the name to the [²river   ¹second] is Gihon. This is  the one  encircling all the land of Ethiopia. 14And the [²river   ¹third] is the Tigris. This is  the one  going forth over against the Assyrians. And the [²river   ¹fourth] is the Euphrates. 15And [³took ¹the lord    ²God] the man whom he shaped, and put him in the paradise to work it and to guard. 16And [³gave charge ¹the lord    ²God] to  Adam, saying, From all of a tree of the one in the paradise [²food ¹you shall eat], 17but from the tree of the knowing good and evil, you shall not eat from it; but in whatever day you should eat from it, to death you shall die.

God Makes Woman

18And [³said ¹the lord    ²God], It is not good [³to be ¹for the ²man] alone, let us make for him a helper according to him! 19And God shaped yet from out of the earth all the wild beasts of the field, and all the winged creatures of the heaven. And he led them to   Adam, to behold what he would call them. And all what ever [²called ³it ¹Adam] -- [²life ¹the living], this was the name to it. 20And Adam called names to all the cattle, and to all the winged creatures of the heaven, and to all the wild beasts of the field; but to Adam there was not found a helper likened to him. 21And [³put ¹the lord    ²God] a change of state over   Adam, and he slept. And he took one   of his ribs, and supplied flesh against it. 22And [³built ¹the lord    ²God] the rib which he took from   Adam into a woman. And he led her to   Adam. 23And Adam said, This now is bone from   my bones, and flesh from   my flesh; she shall be called woman, for from the man she was taken. 24Because of this [²shall leave ¹man]   his father and   mother, and shall cleave to   his wife, and [³shall be ¹the ²two] for [²flesh ¹one]. 25And [³were ¹the ²two] naked,   both Adam and   his wife. And they were not ashamed.
