GENESIS Chapter 2 The man and women in Eden
chapter 2 so the creation of the heavens
and the earth
and everything in them was completed on
the seventh day
god had finished his work of creation so
he rested from all his work
and god blessed the seventh day and
declared it holy
because it was the day when he rested
from all his work of creation
this is the account of the creation of
the heavens
and the earth the man and woman
in eden when the lord god made the earth
and the heavens neither wild plants nor
grains were growing
on the earth for the lord god had not
yet sent rain to water the earth
and there were no people to cultivate
the soil instead
springs came up from the ground and
watered all the land
then the lord god formed the man from
the dust of the ground
he breathed the breath of life into the
man's nostrils
and the man became a living person then
the lord god planted a garden
in eden in the east and there he placed
the man he had made
the lord god made all sorts of trees
grow up from the ground
trees that were beautiful and that
produced delicious fruit
in the middle of the garden he placed
the tree of life and the tree
of the knowledge of good and evil a
river
flowed from the land of eden watering
the garden
and then dividing into four branches the
first branch
called the pishon flowed around the
entire land of havala
where gold is found the gold of that
land is exceptionally pure
aromatic resin and onyx stone are also
found there
the second branch called the gihon
flowed around the entire land of cush
the third branch called the tigris
flowed east
of the land of asher the fourth branch
is called the euphrates the lord god
placed the man in the garden of eden to
tend and watch over it
but the lord god warned him you may
freely eat the fruit of
every tree in the garden except the tree
of the knowledge
of good and evil if you eat its fruit
you
are sure to die then the lord god said
it is not good for the man to be alone i
will make a helper who is just right for
him
so the lord god formed from the ground
all the wild animals and
all the birds of the sky he brought them
to the man to see what he would call
them and the man
chose a name for each one he gave names
to all the livestock all the birds of
the sky
and all the wild animals but still there
was no helper just right for him
so the lord god caused the man to fall
into a deep sleep
while the man slept the lord god took
out one of the man's ribs
and closed up the opening then the lord
god
made a woman from the rib and he brought
her
to the man at last the man exclaimed
this one is bone from my bone and flesh
from my flesh
she will be called woman because she was
taken
from man this explains why a man leaves
his father and mother
and is joined to his wife and the two
are united into one now the man
and his wife were both naked but they
felt no shame
