2 A nd on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.

and God completeth by the seventh day His work which He hath made, and ceaseth by the seventh day from all His work which He hath made.

3 T hen God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.

And God blesseth the seventh day, and sanctifieth it, for in it He hath ceased from all His work which God had prepared for making.

4 T his is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,

These births of the heavens and of the earth in their being prepared, in the day of Jehovah God's making earth and heavens;

5 b efore any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground;

and no shrub of the field is yet in the earth, and no herb of the field yet sprouteth, for Jehovah God hath not rained upon the earth, and a man there is not to serve the ground,

6 b ut a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.

and a mist goeth up from the earth, and hath watered the whole face of the ground.

And Jehovah God planteth a garden in Eden, at the east, and He setteth there the man whom He hath formed;

9 A nd out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

and Jehovah God causeth to sprout from the ground every tree desirable for appearance, and good for food, and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

10 N ow a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it parted and became four riverheads.

And a river is going out from Eden to water the garden, and from thence it is parted, and hath become four chief;

11 T he name of the first is Pishon; it is the one which skirts the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.

15 T hen the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.

And Jehovah God taketh the man, and causeth him to rest in the garden of Eden, to serve it, and to keep it.

16 A nd the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;

And Jehovah God layeth a charge on the man, saying, `Of every tree of the garden eating thou dost eat;

17 b ut of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

and of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou dost not eat of it, for in the day of thine eating of it -- dying thou dost die.'

18 A nd the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.”

And Jehovah God saith, `Not good for the man to be alone, I do make to him an helper -- as his counterpart.'

19 O ut of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name.

And Jehovah God formeth from the ground every beast of the field, and every fowl of the heavens, and bringeth in unto the man, to see what he doth call it; and whatever the man calleth a living creature, that its name.

20 S o Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him.

And the man calleth names to all the cattle, and to fowl of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; and to man hath not been found an helper -- as his counterpart.

And Jehovah God buildeth up the rib which He hath taken out of the man into a woman, and bringeth her in unto the man;

and the man saith, `This the step! bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh!' for this it is called Woman, for from a man hath this been taken;

24 T herefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

therefore doth a man leave his father and his mother, and hath cleaved unto his wife, and they have become one flesh.

25 A nd they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

And they are both of them naked, the man and his wife, and they are not ashamed of themselves.
