1 Thus the heavens and the earth, and aall the host of them, were finished.
2 aAnd on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.
3 Then God ablessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.
4 aThis is the1 history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,
5 before any aplant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the Lord God had not bcaused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man cto till the ground;
6 but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.
7 And the Lord God formed man of the adust of the ground, and bbreathed into his cnostrils the breath of life; and dman became a living being.
Life in God’s Garden
8 The Lord God planted aa garden beastward in cEden, and there He put the man whom He had formed.
9 And out of the ground the Lord God made aevery tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. bThe tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and cevil.
10 Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it parted and became four riverheads.
