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.
Now no shrub of the field was yet in the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for the LORD God had not sent rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground.

The LORD God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden; and there He placed the man whom He had formed.
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.
Out of the ground the LORD God caused to grow every tree that is pleasing to the sight and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
A river flowed from the land of Eden, watering the garden and then dividing into four branches.
Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four rivers.
The first branch, called the Pishon, flowed around the entire land of Havilah, where gold is found.
The name of the first is Pishon; it flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
The gold of that land is exceptionally pure; aromatic resin and onyx stone are also found there.
The gold of that land is good; the bdellium and the onyx stone are there.
The second branch, called the Gihon, flowed around the entire land of Cush.
The name of the second river is Gihon; it flows around the whole land of Cush.
The third branch, called the Tigris, flowed east of the land of Asshur. The fourth branch is called the Euphrates.
The name of the third river is Tigris; it flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
The LORD God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it.
Then the LORD God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it.
But the LORD God warned him, “You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden —
The LORD God commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may eat freely;
except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die.”
but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.”
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.”

Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name.
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 man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him.
So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place.
Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib, and he brought her to the man.
The LORD God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the 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.’”
The man said,
“This is now bone of my bones,
And flesh of my flesh;
She shall be called Woman,
Because she was taken out of Man.”
“This is now bone of my bones,
And flesh of my flesh;
She shall be called Woman,
Because she was taken out of Man.”

For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.
