[1] The heavens, the earth, and all their vast array were finished. [2] On the seventh day God finished his work which he had done; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done. [3] God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work of creation which he had done. [4] This is the history of the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Yahweh§ God made the earth and the heavens. [5] No plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain on the earth. There was not a man to till the ground, [6] but a mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole surface of the ground. [7] Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. [8] Yahweh God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed. [9] Out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, including the tree of life in the middle 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 from there it was parted, and became the source of four rivers. [11] The name of the first is Pishon: it flows through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; [12] and the gold of that land is good. Bdellium§ and onyx stone are also there. [13] The name of the second river is Gihon. It is the same river that flows through the whole land of Cush. [14] The name of the third river is Hiddekel. This is the one which flows in front of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates. [15] Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it. [16] Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden; [17] but you shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.” [18] Yahweh God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to§ him.” [19] Out of the ground Yahweh God formed every animal of the field, and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called every living creature became its name. [20] The man gave names to all livestock, and to the birds of the sky, and to every animal of the field; but for man there was not found a helper comparable to him. [21] Yahweh God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. As the man slept, he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. [22] Yahweh God made a woman from the rib which he had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. [23] The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was taken out of Man.” [24] Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh. [25] The man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.

[1] Thus the heavensH8064 and the earthH776 were finished,H3615(PualImpf) and all the host of them.H6635 [2] And on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 GodH430 endedH3615(PielImpf) his workH4399 which he had made;H6213(QalPerf) and he restedH7673(QalImpf) on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 from all his workH4399 which he had made.H6213(QalPerf) [3] And GodH430 blessedH1288(PielImpf) the seventhH7637 day,H3117 and sanctifiedH6942(PielImpf) it: becauseH3588 that in it he had restedH7673(QalPerf) from all his workH4399 which GodH430 createdH1254(QalPerf) and made.H6213(QalInf) [4] TheseH428 [are] the generationsH8435 of the heavensH8064 and of the earthH776 when they were created,H1254(NiphInf) in the dayH3117 that the LordH3068 GodH430 madeH6213(QalInf) the earthH776 and the heavens,H8064 [5] And every plantH7880 of the fieldH7704 beforeH2962 it was in the earth,H776 and every herbH6212 of the fieldH7704 beforeH2962 it grew:H6779(QalImpf) forH3588 the LordH3068 GodH430 had notH3808 caused it to rainH4305(HiphPerf) upon the earth,H776 and [there was] notH369 a manH120 to tillH5647(QalInf) the ground.H127 [6] But there went upH5927(QalImpf) a mistH108 fromH4480 the earth,H776 and wateredH8248(HiphPerf) the whole faceH6440 of the ground.H127 [7] And the LordH3068 GodH430 formedH3335(QalImpf) manH120 [of] the dustH6083 ofH4480 the ground,H127 and breathedH5301(QalImpf) into his nostrilsH639 the breathH5397 of life;H2416 and manH120 became a livingH2416 soul.H5315 [8] And the LordH3068 GodH430 plantedH5193(QalImpf) a gardenH1588 eastwardH6924 in Eden;H5731 and thereH8033 he putH7760(QalImpf) the manH120 whomH834 he had formed.H3335(QalPerf) [9] And outH4480 of the groundH127 madeH6779 the LordH3068 GodH430 to growH6779(HiphImpf) every treeH6086 that is pleasantH2530(NiphPtc) to the sight,H4758 and goodH2896 for food;H3978 the treeH6086 of lifeH2416 also in the midstH8432 of the garden,H1588 and the treeH6086 of knowledgeH1847 of goodH2896 and evil.H7451 [10] And a riverH5104 went outH3318(QalActPtc) of EdenH5731 to waterH8248(HiphInf) the garden;H1588 and from thence it was parted,H6504(NiphImpf) and became into fourH702 heads.H7218 [11] The nameH8034 of the firstH259 [is] Pison:H6376 thatH1931 [is] it which compassethH5437(QalActPtc) the whole landH776 of Havilah,H2341 whereH834 [there is] gold;H2091 [12] And the goldH2091 of thatH1931 landH776 [is] good:H2896 there [is] bdelliumH916 and the onyxH7718 stone.H68 [13] And the nameH8034 of the secondH8145 riverH5104 [is] Gihon:H1521 the same [is] it that compassethH5437(QalActPtc) the whole landH776 of Ethiopia.H3568 [14] And the nameH8034 of the thirdH7992 riverH5104 [is] Hiddekel:H2313 that [is] it which goeth towardH1980(QalActPtc) the eastH6926 of Assyria.H804 And the fourthH7243 riverH5104 [is] Euphrates.H6578 [15] And the LordH3068 GodH430 tookH3947(QalImpf) the man,H120 and put himH3240(HiphImpf) into the gardenH1588 of EdenH5731 to dressH5647(QalInf) it and to keepH8104(QalInf) it. [16] And the LordH3068 GodH430 commandedH6680(PielImpf) the man,H120 saying,H559(QalInf) Of every treeH6086 of the gardenH1588 thou mayest freelyH398(QalInf) eat:H398(QalImpf) [17] But of the treeH6086 of the knowledgeH1847 of goodH2896 and evil,H7451 thou shalt not eatH398(QalImpf) of it: for in the dayH3117 that thou eatestH398(QalInf) thereof thou shalt surelyH4191(QalInf) die.H4191(QalImpf) [18] And the LordH3068 GodH430 said,H559(QalImpf) [It is] not goodH2896 that the manH120 should beH1961(QalInf) alone; I will makeH6213(QalImpf) him an help meetH5828 for him. [19] And out of the groundH127 the LordH3068 GodH430 formedH3335(QalImpf) every beastH2416 of the field,H7704 and every fowlH5775 of the air;H8064 and broughtH935(HiphImpf) [them] unto AdamH120 to seeH7200(QalInf) what he would callH7121(QalImpf) them: and whatsoever AdamH120 calledH7121(QalImpf) every livingH2416 creature,H5315 thatH1931 [was] the name thereof.H8034 [20] And AdamH120 gaveH7121(QalImpf) namesH8034 to all cattle,H929 and to the fowlH5775 of the air,H8064 and to every beastH2416 of the field;H7704 but for AdamH120 there was not foundH4672(QalPerf) an help meetH5828 for him. [21] And the LordH3068 GodH430 causedH5307 a deep sleepH8639 to fallH5307(HiphImpf) upon Adam,H121 and he slept:H3462(QalImpf) and he tookH3947(QalImpf) oneH259 of his ribs,H6763 and closed upH5462(QalImpf) the fleshH1320 instead thereof; [22] And the rib,H6763 which the LordH3068 GodH430 had takenH3947(QalPerf) from man,H120 madeH1129(QalImpf) he a woman,H802 and broughtH935(HiphImpf) her unto the man.H120 [23] And AdamH120 said,H559(QalImpf) ThisH2063 [is] nowH6471 boneH6106 of my bones,H6106 and fleshH1320 of my flesh:H1320 sheH2063 shall be calledH7121(NiphImpf) Woman,H802 because sheH2063 was takenH3947(PualPerf) out of Man.H376 [24] ThereforeH3651 shall a manH376 leaveH5800(QalImpf) his fatherH1 and his mother,H517 and shall cleaveH1692(QalPerf) unto his wife:H802 and they shall be oneH259 flesh.H1320 [25] And they were bothH8147 naked,H6174 the manH120 and his wife,H802 and were not ashamed.H954(HiplImpf)
