Genesis 2:1-9

1Heaven and earth and everything in them were finished.

2By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing. On the seventh day he stopped the work he had been doing.

3Then God blessed the seventh day and set it apart as holy, because on that day he stopped all his work of creation.

4This is the account of heaven and earth when they were created, at the time when the Lord God made earth and heaven.

5Wild bushes and plants were not on the earth yet because the Lord God hadn’t sent rain on the earth. Also, there was no one to farm the land.

6Instead, underground water would come up from the earth and water the entire surface of the ground.

7Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the earth  and blew the breath of life into his nostrils. The man became a living being.

8The Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east. That’s where he put the man whom he had formed.

9The Lord God made all the trees grow out of the ground. These trees were nice to look at, and their fruit was good to eat. The tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil grew in the middle of the garden.
