Genesis 2

Revised Version 1895

1And the heavenH8064 and the earthH776 were finishedH3615, and allH3605 the hostH6635 of them. 2And on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 GodH430 finishedH3615 his workH4399 whichH834 he had madeH6213; and he restedH7673 on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 from allH3605 his workH4399 whichH834 he had madeH6213. 3And GodH430 blessedH1288 the seventhH7637 dayH3117, and hallowed it: becauseH3588 that in it he restedH7673 from allH3605 his workH4399 whichH834 GodH430 had createdH1254 and madeH6213. 4TheseH428 are the generationsH8435 of the heavenH8064 and of the earthH776 when they were createdH1254, in the dayH3117 that the LORDH3068 GodH430 madeH6213 earthH776 and heavenH8064. 5And noH3808 plantH6212 of the fieldH7704 was yet in the earthH776, and noH3808 herbH6212 of the fieldH7704 had yet sprungH6779 upH5921: for the LORDH3068 GodH430 had notH3808 causedH1961 it to rainH4305 uponH5921 the earthH776, and there was notH3808 a manH120 to tillH5647 the groundH776; 6but there wentH5927 upH5927 a mistH108 from the earthH776, and wateredH8248 the wholeH3605 faceH6440 of the groundH776. 7And the LORDH3068 GodH430 formedH3335 manH120 of the dustH6083 of the groundH127, and breathedH5397 intoH1961 his nostrilsH639 the breathH5397 of lifeH5315; and manH120 becameH1961 a livingH2416 soulH5315. 8And the LORDH3068 GodH430 plantedH5193 a gardenH1588 eastwardH6924, in EdenH5731; and there he putH7760 the manH120 whomH834 he had formedH3335. 9And outH4480 of the groundH127 madeH3605 the LORDH3068 GodH430 to growH6779 everyH3605 treeH6086 that is pleasantH2896 to the sightH4758, and goodH2896 for foodH3978; the treeH6086 of lifeH2416 also in the midstH8432 of the gardenH1588, and the treeH6086 of the knowledgeH1847 of goodH2896 and evilH7451. 10And a riverH5104 wentH3318 outH3318 of EdenH5731 to waterH8248 the gardenH1588; and from thence it was partedH6504, and becameH1961 fourH702 headsH7218. 11The nameH8034 of the firstH259 is PishonH6376: that is it whichH834 compasseth the wholeH3605 landH776 of HavilahH2341, whereH834 there is goldH2091; 12and the goldH2091 of that landH776 is goodH2896: there is bdelliumH916 and the onyxH7718 stoneH68. 13And the nameH8034 of the secondH8145 riverH5104 is GihonH1521: the sameH1931 is it that compasseth the wholeH3605 landH776 of CushH3568. 14And the nameH8034 of the thirdH7992 riverH5104 is Hiddekel: that is it whichH1931 goeth in front of AssyriaH804. And the fourthH7243 riverH5104 is EuphratesH6578. 15And the LORDH3068 GodH430 tookH3947 the manH120, and putH3240 him intoH3947 the gardenH1588 of EdenH5731 to dress it and to keepH8104 it. 16And the LORDH3068 GodH430 commandedH6680 the manH120, sayingH559, Of everyH3605 treeH6086 of the gardenH1588 thou mayest freelyH398 eatH398: 17but of the treeH6086 of the knowledgeH1847 of goodH2896 and evilH7451, thou shalt notH3808 eatH398 of it: for in the dayH3117 that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surelyH3588 dieH4191. 18And the LORDH3068 GodH430 saidH559, It is notH3808 goodH2896 that the manH120 should be aloneH905; I will makeH6213 him an helpH5828 meet for him. 19And outH4480 of the groundH127 the LORDH3068 GodH430 formedH3335 everyH3605 beastH2416 of the fieldH7704, and everyH3605 fowlH5775 of the air; and broughtH935 them unto the manH120 to seeH7200 whatH4100 he would callH7121 them: and whatsoeverH3605 the manH120 calledH7121 everyH3605 livingH2416 creatureH5315, that was the nameH8034 thereof. 20And the manH120 gaveH7121 namesH8034 to allH3605 cattleH929, and to the fowlH5775 of the air, and to everyH3605 beastH929 of the fieldH7704; but for manH120 there was notH3808 foundH4672 an helpH5828 meetH4672 for him. 21And the LORDH3068 GodH430 causedH430 a deepH8639 sleepH3462 to fallH5307 uponH5921 the manH120, and he sleptH3462; and he tookH3947 one of his ribsH6763, and closedH5462 upH5921 the fleshH1320 insteadH8478 thereof: 22and the ribH6763, whichH834 the LORDH3068 GodH430 had takenH3947 from the manH120, madeH834 he a womanH802, and broughtH935 herH413 unto the manH120. 23And the manH376 saidH559, This is nowH6471 boneH6106 of my bonesH6106, and fleshH1320 of my fleshH1320: sheH3588 shall be calledH7121 WomanH802, becauseH3588 sheH3588 was takenH3947 outH376 of ManH376. 24Therefore shall a manH376 leaveH5800 his fatherH1 and his motherH517, and shall cleave unto his wifeH802: and they shall be one fleshH1320. 25And they were bothH8147 nakedH6174, the manH120 and his wifeH802, and were notH3808 ashamedH954.
