GEN 2:4b–3:1a ©

Man and Woman in the Garden

Man and Woman in the Garden

This [is] the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD[fn] God made [them]

5

Now [no] shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth, nor had any plant of the field sprouted, for the LORD God had not [yet] sent rain upon the earth, and [there was] no man to cultivate the ground. 6But springs[fn] welled up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.

7

Then the LORD God formed man [from] the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.[fn]

8

And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, where He placed the man He had formed. 9Out of the ground the LORD God gave growth to every tree that is pleasing to the eye and good for food. And in the middle of the garden [were] the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

10

Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it branched into four headwaters:

11

Then the LORD God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.

16

And the LORD God commanded [him]“You may eat freely from every tree of the garden, 17but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die

18

The LORD God also said,“[It is] not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper.”

19

And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and He brought [them] to the man to see what he would name each one And whatever the man called each living creature, that [was] its name. 20The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam[fn] no suitable helper was found.

21

So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he slept, He took one of [the man’s] ribs[fn] and closed up the area with flesh. 22And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman and brought her to [him]. 23And the man said:

“This [is] now bone of my bones

and flesh of my flesh;

she shall be called‘woman,’

for out of man she was taken.”

24

For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.[fn]

25

And the man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed. 3

2:20 Or the man, as in verses 19 and 21
