1 The generations of the Sky and the Earth, made the day YHWH Elohim made the Sky and the Earth
2 All plants of the field were not yet on the Earth, and all herbs of the field had not yet sprouted, for YHWH Elohim had not yet caused rain on the Earth and humanity was not yet there to work the ground. 3 Mist arose from the Earth and watered the whole face of the Earth.
4 YHWH Elohim made human from the dust of the ground then blew into his nostrils life breath. Human became a living soul. 5 YHWH Elohim planted the garden of Eden in the east and set the human whom he molded there. 6 From the ground YHWH Elohim grew every tree that is good for food and pleasant to look at. 7 And the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Bad were in the midst of the garden.
8 A river for drinking flowed out from the garden of Eden, there it divided and became four heads. 9 The first is named Pishon. It winds through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold, and the gold from the Earth there is pleasant. Bdellium and onyx stones are there as well. 10 The second river is named Gihon. It winds through the whole land of Cush. 11 The third river is named Hiddekel. It goes along the east of Asshur. 12 The fourth is Perath.
13 YHWH Elohim took the human and laid him down in the garden of Eden to serve it and protect it. 14 YHWH Elohim commanded over the human saying, “From all trees you may eat everything. But do not eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Bad. For the day you eat from it, you will absolutely die.” 15 And YHWH Elohim said, “It is not good for the human to be isolated. I will make him a counterpart help.” 16 YHWH Elohim made from the ground all land beasts and all sky birds. And brought them to the human to see what he would call them all. Whatever the human called them, was its name. 17 The human called names to all cattle, sky birds, and all land beasts. 18 Yet the human did not find an counterpart help.
19 YHWH Elohim cause a deep sleep to fall on the human, and he slept. 20 He took one side and closed up and the flesh below. 21 YHWH Elohim built the side which he had taken from the human into a wife and brought her to the human. 22 The human said, “She is now: essence of my essence, flesh of my flesh. She will be called Wife, because she was taken from man. Therefore, man shall leave his father and mother to cling to to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
23 And the two of them were naked — the man and his wife — and they were not ashamed.
