Creation 2



Finished in six days
creation of earth and heaven 
seventh day (He) rested from work

God blessed seventh day
and sanctified it because
rested from all of his work

God did not form man
before plant of the field grew
and caused to rain upon earth

There went a mist of earth
watered whole face of the ground
Then formed man of dust of ground

God breathed into
Nostrils of man, breath of life
Man became a living soul

God planted garden
In eastward in Eden and
There put the man he had formed

God made every
tree out of garden, to grow
pleasant sight and good for food

In midst of garden
God made tree of  life, tree of
knowledge of good and evil

A brook went out of
Eden to water the garden
from thence parted to four heads

Name of first river
was Pison, second Gihon,
third Hiddekel, fourth Euphrates

The land of Pison
compasseth whole land of Havilah
there was gold and onyx stone

God took man and put
into garden of Eden
to dress and keep the garden

God commanded man
of every tree he can eat 
but not tree of the knowledge

The day he shall eat
of the tree of the knowledge
the man shall die surely

Man should be alone
is not good for man, God said
I will make help meet for him

God formed every
beast of field and fowl of air
and brought them unto Adam

Whatsoever Adam
called every living creature
that was the name thereof

Adam gave name to
all cattle and beast of field
but not found help meet for him

Lord caused deep sleep
to fall upon him and slept
Then God took one of his ribs

Made a woman of
the rib which God had taken
and brought her unto the man

Adam said this is -
bone of my bones, flesh of (my) flesh
So she shall be called woman

Now man shall leave
his father and mother and
live with his wife as one flesh
