THUS the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000036">2</a>. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000037">3</a>. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000038">4</a>. These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000039">5</a>. And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000040">6</a>. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000041">7</a>. And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000042">8</a>. And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000043">9</a>. And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000044">10</a>. And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000045">11</a>. The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000046">12</a>. And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000047">13</a>. And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000048">14</a>. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria.  And the fourth river is Euphrates.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000049">15</a>. And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000050">16</a>. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000051">17</a>. But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000052">18</a>. And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000053">19</a>. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000054">20</a>. And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000055">21</a>. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000056">22</a>. And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000057">23</a>. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000058">24</a>. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000059">25</a>. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.</li>
