THE COMPLETION OF CREATION (2:1-3) 

1. Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their host.

2. And on the seventh day God ended his work which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made.

3. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because in it He had rested from all His work which God created and made.

THE GENERATIONS OF THE HEAVENS & EARTH (2:4-6) 

4. These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, 

5. And every shrub of the field before it was in the earth, and every plant of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

6. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

THE FORMATION OF MAN & EDEN (2:7-9)

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 soul.

8. And 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 made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

THE RIVER OF LIFE (2:10-14)

10. And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted and became four heads.

11. The name of the first is Pison: it compasses the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; 

12. And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.

13. And the name of the second river is Gihon: it compasses the whole land of Ethiopia.

14. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: it goes toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD (2:15-17)

15. And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

16. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat:

17. But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat from it: for in the day that you eat from it, you shall surely die."

THE SUITABLE HELPER FOR MAN (2:18-20)

18. And the LORD God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a suitable helper."

19. And out of the ground, the LORD God formed every lifeform of the field, and every bird of the air; and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them: and whatever Adam called every lifeform, that was its name.

20. And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found a suitable helper for him.

THE CREATION OF WOMAN & MARRIAGE (2:20-23)

21. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place;

22. And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, He made into a woman, and brought her unto the man.

23. And Adam 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."

24. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

25. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
