Bible, King James Version
Genesis
Gen.2
[1] Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all
the host of them.
[2] And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had
made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he
had made.
[3] And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it:
because that in it he had rested from all his work which God
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, 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.
[19] And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast
of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto
Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called
every living creature, that was the name thereof.
[20] And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of
the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was
not found an help meet for him.
[21] And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon
Adam and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the
flesh instead thereof;
[22] And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man,
made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
[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 unto his wife: and they shall be one
flesh.
[25] And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and
were not ashamed.
