Genesis 2:7-18

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.
