¹The skies and the land and all their host were completed.

²On the seventh day God completed his work that he had made, and he ceased on the seventh day from all his work that he had made.

³God blessed the seventh day and set it apart, because on it he ceased from all his work that God had created by making.

⁴These are the accounts of the skies and the land when they were created, in the day that Yahweh God made land and skies.

⁵No shrub of the field was yet on the land, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for Yahweh God had not sent rain on the land, and there was no human to till the ground.

⁶A mist used to rise from the land and water the whole face of the ground.

⁷Yahweh God formed the man from dust of the ground and blew the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.

⁸Yahweh God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed.

⁹Yahweh God caused to grow from the ground every tree desirable to look at and good for food, and the tree of life in the middle of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

¹⁰A river was going out from Eden to water the garden, and from there it would divide and become four headwaters.

¹¹The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one that circles the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.

¹²And the gold of that land is good; there are bdellium and onyx stone.

¹³And the name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one that circles the whole land of Cush.

¹⁴And the name of the third river is Tigris; it is the one that goes to the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

¹⁵Yahweh God took the man and settled him in the garden of Eden, to till it and to keep it.

¹⁶And Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, From every tree of the garden you may certainly eat.

¹⁷But from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you must not eat of it, for on the day you eat of it you will surely die.

¹⁸And Yahweh God said, It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make for him a helper corresponding to him.

¹⁹And Yahweh God formed from the ground every animal of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call it; and whatever the man called each living being, that was its name.

²⁰And the man called out names for all the livestock, the bird of the sky, and every animal of the field; but for Adam no helper corresponding to him was found.

²¹And Yahweh God let a deep sleep fall upon the man, and he slept; then he took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh in its place.

²²And Yahweh God built the rib that he had taken from the man into a woman, and brought her to the man.

²³And the man said, This time, this one is bone from my bones and flesh from my flesh; this one will be called woman, for from man this one was taken.

²⁴Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and clings to his wife, and they become one flesh.

²⁵And the two of them were naked, the man and his wife, and they were not ashamed.
