Genesis 2:2-7

2By 1the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and 2He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. 3Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on it He rested from all His work which God had created 3and made.

4 4 5This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in 6the day that the Lord God made earth and heaven. 5 7Now no shrub of the field was yet on the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, 8for the Lord God had not sent rain upon the earth, and there was no man to 9cultivate the ground. 6But a 10mist used to rise from the earth and water the whole 11surface of the ground. 7Then the Lord God formed the man of 12dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the 13man became a living 14person.
