Genesis 2:2-7

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.
