Genesis 2:1-9

1The heavens and the earth were completed with everything that was in them.

2By the seventh day God finished the work that he had been doing, and he ceased on the seventh day all the work that he had been doing.

3God blessed the seventh day and made it holy because on it he ceased all the work that he had been doing in creation.

4This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created – when the Lord God made the earth and heavens.

5Now no shrub of the field had yet grown on the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground.

6Springs would well up from the earth and water the whole surface of the ground.

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

8The Lord God planted an orchard in the east, in Eden; and there he placed the man he had formed.

9The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow from the soil, every tree that was pleasing to look at and good for food. (Now the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil were in the middle of the orchard.)
