Genesis 2:2-7

2And by the seventhH7637 dayH3117 GodH430 had finishedH3615 the workH4399 He had been doingH6213; so onH7637 that dayH3117 He restedH7673 from allH3605 His workH4399H834H6213.1

3Then GodH430 blessedH1288 the seventhH7637 dayH3117 and sanctifiedH6942 itH853, becauseH3588 on that day He restedH7673 from allH3605 the workH4399 of creationH1254 thatH834 He had accomplishedH6213.

4ThisH428 is the accountH8435 of the heavensH8064 and the earthH776 when they were createdH1254, in the dayH3117 that the LORDH30682 GodH430 madeH6213 them.

5NowH3605 no shrubH7880 of the fieldH7704 had yetH2962 appearedH1961 on the earthH776, nor had anyH3605 plantH6212 of the fieldH7704 sproutedH6779, forH3588 the LORDH3068 GodH430 had notH3808 yet sent rainH4305 uponH5921 the earthH776, and there was noH369 manH120 to cultivateH5647 the groundH127. 6But springsH1083 welled upH5927 fromH4480 the earthH776 and wateredH8248 the wholeH3605 surfaceH6440 of the groundH127.

7Then the LORDH3068 GodH430 formedH3335 manH120 from the dustH6083 ofH4480 the groundH127 and breathedH5301 the breathH5397 of lifeH2416 into his nostrilsH639, and the manH120 becameH1961 a livingH2416 beingH5315.4
