Genesis 2:1-9

1So the heavens and the earth and everything in them were completed.

2On the seventh day God had completed his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done.

3God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, for on it he rested from all his work of creation.

4These are the records of the heavens and the earth, concerning their creation. At the time that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,

5no shrub of the field had yet grown on the land, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for the Lord God had not made it rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground.

6But mist would come up from the earth and water all the ground.

7Then the Lord God formed the man out of the dust from the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.

8The Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he placed the man he had formed.

9The Lord God caused to grow out of the ground every tree pleasing in appearance and good for food, including the tree of life in the middle of the garden, as well as the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
