The
Creation of Man and Woman |
|
|
 |
|
Genesis 2:1
|
|
Thus the heavens and the earth were completed,
and all their hosts. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 2:2
|
|
By the seventh day God completed His work which
He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 2:3
|
|
Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified
it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 2:4
|
|
This is the account of the heavens and the earth
when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made earth and heaven. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 2:5
|
|
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. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 2:6
|
|
But a mist used to rise from the earth and water
the whole surface of the ground. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 2:7
|
|
Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the
ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living
being. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 2:8
|
|
The LORD God planted a garden toward the east,
in Eden; and there He placed the man whom He had formed. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 2:9
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 2:10
|
|
Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the
garden; and from there it divided and became four rivers. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 2:11
|
|
The name of the first is Pishon; it flows around
the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 2:12
|
|
The gold of that land is good; the bdellium
and the onyx stone are there. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 2:13
|
|
The name of the second river is Gihon; it flows
around the whole land of Cush. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 2:14
|
|
The name of the third river is Tigris; it flows
east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 2:15
|
|
Then the LORD God took the man and put him into
the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 2:16
|
|
The LORD God commanded the man, saying, "From
any tree of the garden you may eat freely; |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 2:17
|
|
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." |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 2:18
|
|
Then the LORD God said, "It is not good for
the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him." |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 2:19
|
|
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. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 2:20
|
|
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. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 2:21
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 2:22
|
|
The LORD God fashioned into a woman the rib
which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 2:23
|
|
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." |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 2:24
|
|
For this reason a man shall leave his father
and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 2:25
|
|
And the man and his wife were both naked and
were not ashamed. |
