2 And God finished on the seventh day his works which he had done, and rested on the seventh day from all his works which he had done.

3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it, for in it he rested from all his works which God had made and made.

4 This is the origin of the heavens and the earth, when they were created, in the time that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,

5 And every bush of the field that was not yet on the earth, and every herb of the field that did not yet grow, for the Lord God sent no rain upon the earth, and there was no man to till the earth,

6 But the vapor went up from the earth, and watered all the face of the earth.

7 And the Lord God formed man out of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul.

8 And the Lord God planted a paradise in Eden in the east, and placed there the man whom he had created.

9 And the Lord God brought forth out of the earth every tree that was pleasant to look at, and good for food, and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

10 A river went out of Eden to water the garden; and then it was divided into four rivers.

11 The name of one is Pison: she flows around the whole land of Havilah, the one where there is gold;

12 And the gold of the land is good; there is bdolah and the onyx stone.

13 The name of the second river is Gihon [Geon]: it flows around the whole land of Cush.

14 The name of the third river is Hiddekel [Tigris]: it flows before Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.

15 And the Lord God took the man [whom he had created,] and dwelt him in the garden of Eden, to cultivate it and to keep it.
