The Seventh Day: God Rests
And the heavens and the earth and all their host were finished.
And the heavens and the earth and all their host were finished.
So the creation of the heavens and the earth and everything in them was completed.
And God had finished on the seventh day his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it, because that on it he rested from all his work which God had created in making it.

The Creation of Man
These are the histories of the heavens and the earth, when they were created, in the day that Jehovah Elohim made earth and heavens,

The Man and Woman in Eden
When the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
The Man and Woman in Eden
When the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
and every shrub of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew; for Jehovah Elohim had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground.
neither wild plants nor grains were growing on the earth. For the LORD God had not yet sent rain to water the earth, and there were no people to cultivate the soil.
But a mist went up from the earth, and moistened the whole surface of the ground.
And Jehovah Elohim formed Man, dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and Man became a living soul.
Then the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person.
The Planting of the Garden
And Jehovah Elohim planted a garden in Eden eastward, and there put Man whom he had formed.
And Jehovah Elohim planted a garden in Eden eastward, and there put Man whom he had formed.
Then the LORD God planted a garden in Eden in the east, and there he placed the man he had made.
And out of the ground Jehovah Elohim made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight, 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.
The LORD God made all sorts of trees grow up from the ground — trees that were beautiful and that produced delicious fruit. In the middle of the garden he placed the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
And a river went out of Eden, to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became four main streams.
A river flowed from the land of Eden, watering the garden and then dividing into four branches.
The name of the one is Pison: that is it which surrounds the whole land of Havilah, where the gold is.
The first branch, called the Pishon, flowed around the entire land of Havilah, where gold is found.
And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and the onyx stone are there.
The gold of that land is exceptionally pure; aromatic resin and onyx stone are also found there.
And the name of the second river is Gihon: that is it which surrounds the whole land of Cush.
The second branch, called the Gihon, flowed around the entire land of Cush.
And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which flows forward toward Asshur. And the fourth river, that is Euphrates.
The third branch, called the Tigris, flowed east of the land of Asshur. The fourth branch is called the Euphrates.
The Forbidden Fruit
And Jehovah Elohim took Man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to till it and to guard it.
And Jehovah Elohim took Man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to till it and to guard it.
The LORD God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it.
And Jehovah Elohim commanded Man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou shalt freely eat;
But the LORD God warned him, “You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden —
but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest of it thou shalt certainly die.
except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die.”
Adam Names the Animals
And Jehovah Elohim said, It is not good that Man should be alone; I will make him a helpmate, his like.
And Jehovah Elohim said, It is not good that Man should be alone; I will make him a helpmate, his like.
Then the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.”
And out of the ground Jehovah Elohim had formed every animal of the field and all fowl of the heavens, and brought [them] to Man, to see what he would call them; and whatever Man called each living soul, that was its name.
And Man gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but as for Adam, he found no helpmate, his like.
He gave names to all the livestock, all the birds of the sky, and all the wild animals. But still there was no helper just right for him.
The Creation of Woman
And Jehovah Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall upon Man; and he slept. And he took one of his ribs and closed up flesh in its stead.
And Jehovah Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall upon Man; and he slept. And he took one of his ribs and closed up flesh in its stead.
And Jehovah Elohim built the rib that he had taken from Man into a woman; and brought her to Man.
Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib, and he brought her to the man.
And Man said, This time it is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh: this shall be called Woman, because this was taken out of a man.
“At last!” the man exclaimed.
“This one is bone from my bone,
and flesh from my flesh!
She will be called ‘woman,’
because she was taken from ‘man.’”
“This one is bone from my bone,
and flesh from my flesh!
She will be called ‘woman,’
because she was taken from ‘man.’”
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.
This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.
