1
Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished.
2
And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.
3
Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.
4
This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,
5
before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground;
6
but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.
7
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
8
The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed.
9
And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10
Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it parted and became four riverheads.
11
The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one which skirts the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
12
And the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and the onyx stone are there.
