Genesis 2:1-9

1So the heavens and the earth were completed along with their entire array.

2God completed—on the seventh day—His work that He made, and He ceased—on the seventh day—from all His work that He made.

3Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, for on it He ceased from all His work that God created for the purpose of preparing.

4These are the genealogical records of the heavens and the earth when they were created, at the time when Adonai Elohim made land and sky.

5Now no shrub of the field was in the land yet, and no green plants of the field had sprouted yet. For Adonai Elohim had not caused it to rain upon the land, and there was no one to work the ground.

6But a mist came up from the land and watered the whole surface of the ground.

7Then Adonai Elohim formed the man out of the dust from the ground and He breathed into his nostrils a breath of life—so the man became a living being.

8Then Adonai Elohim planted a garden in Eden in the east, and there He put the man whom He had formed.

9Then Adonai Elohim caused to sprout from the ground every tree that was desirable to look at and good for food. Now the Tree of Life was in the middle of the garden, and also the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.
