Genesis 2:2-7

2The seventh day came. Then God stopped the work that he had been doing. He had finished his work and he rested on the seventh day.

3God blessed the seventh day. He made it a special day, because he had finished making everything. He did not work on that day.

4This is what happened when God made the heavens and the earth. When the Lord God made the heavens and the earth,

5there were no plants or grasses growing on the earth. That was because the Lord God had not sent any rain on the earth. Also, there was nobody to dig the soil so that plants would grow.

6But streams of water were coming up from the earth. The water made all the top of the ground wet.

7Then the Lord God took some soil from the ground and he made a man. He breathed air into the nose of the man to give him life. So the man became alive.
