[2]And on the sixth day God, finished his works which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his works which he had made. |
| [3]And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it he ceased from all his works which God began to do. |
[3]So God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it; because in it he had rested from all his works which God created and made |
| [4]This is the book of the generation of heaven and earth, when they were made, in the day in which the Lord God made the heaven and the earth, |

| [5]and every herb of the field before it was on the earth, and all the grass of the field before it sprang up, for God had not rained on the earth, and there was not a man to cultivate it. |
[5]And all the trees of the field were not yet in the ground, and every herb of the field had not yet sprung up; for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no man to till the ground. |
| [6]But there rose a fountain out of the earth, and watered the whole face of the earth. |
[6]But a powerful spring gushed out of the earth, and watered all the face of the ground. |

[9]And out of the ground the LORD God made 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. |
| [10]And a river proceeds out of Edem to water the garden, thence it divides itself into four heads. |
[10]And a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it divided and became into four heads. |
| [11]The name of the one, Phisom, this it is which encircles the whole land of Evilat, where there is gold. |

| [17]but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil—of it ye shall not eat, but in whatsoever day ye eat of it, ye shall surely die. |
[17]But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat; for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die |
| [18]And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone, let us make for him a help suitable to him. |
[18]Then the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper who is like him. |
| [19]And God formed yet farther out of the earth all the wild beasts of the field, and all the birds of the sky, and he brought them to Adam, to see what he would call them, and whatever Adam called any living creature, that was the name of it. |
[19]And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them; and whatever Adam called every living creature, that was its name. |
| [20]And Adam gave names to all the cattle and to all the birds of the sky, and to all the wild beasts of the field, but for Adam there was not found a help like to himself. |
[20]And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to all fowl of the air, and to all wild beasts; but for Adam there was not found a helper who was equal to him |
| [21]And God brought a trance upon Adam, and he slept, and he took one of his ribs, and filled up the flesh instead thereof. |

| [22]And God formed the rib which he took from Adam into a woman, and brought her to Adam. |
[22]And of the rib which the LORD God had taken from Adam he made a woman, and brought her to Adam. |
| [23]And Adam said, This now is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of her husband. |
[23]And Adam 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. |
| [24]Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. |
[24]Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh. |
| [25]And they were both naked, Adam and his wife, and were not ashamed |
