Genesis 2:1-25 NIV
1Thus
the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
2 By the seventh day GOD Had Finished the work HE Had Been Doing; so on the seventh day HE Rested from all His Work. 3Then GOD Blessed the seventh day and Made It Holy, because on It HE Rested from all the work of creating that HE Had Done.
Adam and Eve
4This is
the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when The LORD GOD made the earth and the heavens.
5Now no
shrub had yet appeared on the earth and no plant had yet sprung up, for The LORD GOD Had Not Sent rain on the earth and
there was no one to work the ground, 6but
streams came up from the earth and watered the
whole surface of the ground. 7Then The LORD GOD Formed a man from the dust of the ground and Breathed
into his nostrils The Breath of Life,
and the man became a living being.
8Now The LORD GOD Had Planted a garden in the east,
in Eden; and there HE Put the man HE Had Formed.
9The Lord GOD Made all kinds of trees grow out
of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the
middle of the garden were the Tree of
Life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10A river
watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four
headwaters. 11The
name of the first is the Pishon;
it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12(The gold of that land is good; aromatic
resind and onyx are also there.) 13The
name of the second river is the Gihon;
it winds through the entire land of Cush.e 14The
name of the third river is the Tigris;
it runs along the east side of Ashur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
15The Lord GOD Took the man and Put him in the
Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. 16And The
Lord GOD Commanded the man, “You are free
to eat from any tree in the garden; 17but you
must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat
from it you will certainly die.”
18The Lord GOD Said,
“It is not good for the man to be alone. I Will Make a helper suitable for him.”
“It is not good for the man to be alone. I Will Make a helper suitable for him.”
19Now The Lord GOD Had Formed out of the ground all
the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. HE Brought them to the man to
see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature,
that was its name. 20So the
man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild
animals.
But for Adamf no suitable helper was found. 21So The Lord GOD Caused the man to fall into a deep
sleep; and while he was sleeping, HE Took one of the man’s ribs and then Closed up the place with flesh.
22Then The Lord GOD Made a woman from the rib HE Had Taken out of the man, and HE Brought her to the man.
22Then The Lord GOD Made a woman from the rib HE Had Taken out of the man, and HE Brought her to the man.
23The man
said,
“This
is now bone of my bones
and
flesh of my flesh;
she
shall be called ‘woman,’
for
she was taken out of man.”
24That is
why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they
become one flesh.
