2Heaven and Earth were finished, down to the last detail.H8064H776H3615H6635 2By the seventh day God had finished his work. On the seventh day he rested from all his work.H7637H3117H430H3615H4399H6213H7673H7637H3117H4399H6213 3God blessed the seventh day. He made it a Holy Day Because on that day he rested from his work, all the creating God had done.H430H1288H7637H3117H6942H3588H7673H4399H430H1254H6213 4This is the story of how it all started, of Heaven and Earth when they were created.H428H8435H8064H776H1254H3117H3068H430H6213H776H8064

Adam and Eve

5At the time GOD made Earth and Heaven, before any grasses or shrubs had sprouted from the ground—GOD hadn't yet sent rain on Earth, nor was there anyone around to work the groundH7880H7704H2962H776H6212H7704H2962H6779H3588H3068H430H3808H4305H776H369H120H5647H127 6(the whole Earth was watered by underground springs)—H5927H108H4480H776H8248H6440H127 7GOD formed Man out of dirt from the ground and blew into his nostrils the breath of life. The Man came alive—a living soul!H3068H430H3335H120H6083H4480H127H5301H639H5397H2416H120H2416H5315 8Then GOD planted a garden in Eden, in the east. He put the Man he had just made in it.H3068H430H5193H1588H6924H5731H8033H7760H120H834H3335 9GOD made all kinds of trees grow from the ground, trees beautiful to look at and good to eat. The Tree-of-Life was in the middle of the garden, also the Tree-of-Knowledge-of-Good-and-Evil.H4480H127H6779H3068H430H6779H6086H2530H4758H2896H3978H6086H2416H8432H1588H6086H1847H2896H7451 10A river flows out of Eden to water the garden and from there divides into four rivers.H5104H3318H5731H8248H1588H6504H702H7218 11The first is named Pishon; it flows through Havilah where there is gold.H8034H259H6376H1931H5437H776H2341H834H2091 12The gold of this land is good. The land is also known for a sweet-scented resin and the onyx stone.H2091H1931H776H2896H916H7718H68 13The second river is named Gihon; it flows through the land of Cush.H8034H8145H5104H1521H5437H776H3568 14The third river is named Hiddekel and flows east of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.H8034H7992H5104H2313H1980H6926H804H7243H5104H6578 15GOD took the Man and set him down in the Garden of Eden to work the ground and keep it in order.H3068H430H3947H120H3240H1588H5731H5647H8104 16GOD commanded the Man, "You can eat from any tree in the garden,H3068H430H6680H120H559H6086H1588H398H398 17except from the Tree-of-Knowledge-of-Good-and-Evil. Don't eat from it. The moment you eat from that tree, you're dead."H6086H1847H2896H7451H398H3117H398H4191H4191 18GOD said, "It's not good for the Man to be alone; I'll make him a helper, a companion."H3068H430H559H2896H120H1961H6213H5828 19So GOD formed from the dirt of the ground all the animals of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the Man to see what he would name them. Whatever the Man called each living creature, that was its name.H127H3068H430H3335H2416H7704H5775H8064H935H120H7200H7121H120H7121H2416H5315H1931H8034 20The Man named the cattle, named the birds of the air, named the wild animals; but he didn't find a suitable companion.H120H7121H8034H929H5775H8064H2416H7704H120H4672H5828 21GOD put the Man into a deep sleep. As he slept he removed one of his ribs and replaced it with flesh.H3068H430H5307H8639H5307H121H3462H3947H259H6763H5462H1320 22GOD then used the rib that he had taken from the Man to make Woman and presented her to the Man.H6763H3068H430H3947H120H1129H802H935H120 23The Man said, "Finally! Bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh! Name her Woman for she was made from Man."H120H559H2063H6471H6106H6106H1320H1320H2063H7121H802H2063H3947H376 24Therefore a man leaves his father and mother and embraces his wife. They become one flesh.H3651H376H5800H1H517H1692H802H259H1320 25The two of them, the Man and his Wife, were naked, but they felt no shame.H8147H6174H120H802H954
