CHAP. II.
1 The first Sabbath. 4 The maner of the creation. 8 The planting of the garden of Eden, 10 and the riuer thereof. 17 The tree of knowledge onely forbidden. 19. 20 The naming of the creatures. 21 The making of woman, and institution of Mariage.
1 Thus the heauens and the earth were finished, and all the hoste of them.
2 And on the seuenth day God ended his worke, which hee had made: And he rested on the seuenth day from all his worke, which he had made.2
3 And God blessed the seuenth day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his worke, which God created and made.3
6 But there went vp a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.6
7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, & breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a liuing soule.7
8 ¶ And the LORD God planted a garden Eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Hauilah, where there is gold.11
12 And the gold of that land is good: There is Bdellium and the Onix stone.
13 And the name of the second riuer is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.13
14 And the name of the third riuer is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the East of Assyria: and the fourth riuer is Euphrates.14
15 And the LORD God tooke the man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to dresse it, and to keepe it.15
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of euery tree of the garden thou mayest freely eate.16
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and euill, thou shalt not eate of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely die.17
18 ¶ And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone: I will make him an helpe meet for him.18
19 And out of þe ground the LORD God formed euery beast of the field, and euery foule of the aire, and brought them vnto Adam, to see what he would call them: and whatsoeuer Adam called euery liuing creature, that was the name thereof.19
20 And Adam gaue names to all cattell, and to the foule of the aire, and to euery beast of the fielde: but for Adam there was not found an helpe meete for him.20
22 And the rib which the LORD God had taken from man, made hee a woman, & brought her vnto the man.22
23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shalbe called woman, because shee was taken out of man.23
24 Therefore shall a man leaue his father and his mother, and shall cleaue vnto his wife: and they shalbe one flesh.24
25 And they were both naked, the man & his wife, and were not ashamed.
