1 فأكملت السموات والارض وكل جندها.2 وفرغ الله في اليوم السابع من عمله الذي عمل. فاستراح في اليوم السابع من جميع عمله الذي عمل.3 وبارك الله اليوم السابع وقدسه. لانه فيه استراح من جميع عمله الذي عمل الله خالقا4 هذه مبادئ السموات والارض حين خلقت. يوم عمل الرب الاله الارض والسموات5 كل شجر البرية لم يكن بعد في الارض وكل عشب البرية لم ينبت بعد. لان الرب الاله لم يكن قد امطر على الارض. ولا كان انسان ليعمل الارض.6 ثم كان ضباب يطلع من الارض ويسقي كل وجه الارض.7 وجبل الرب الاله آدم ترابا من الارض. ونفخ في انفه نسمة حياة. فصار آدم نفسا حيّة.8 وغرس الرب الاله جنّة في عدن شرقا. ووضع هناك آدم الذي جبله.9 وأنبت الرب الاله من الارض كل شجرة شهية للنظر وجيدة للأكل. وشجرة الحياة في وسط الجنة وشجرة معرفة الخير والشر.10 وكان نهر يخرج من عدن ليسقي الجنة. ومن هناك ينقسم فيصير اربعة رؤوس.11 اسم الواحد فيشون. وهو المحيط بجميع ارض الحويلة حيث الذهب.12 وذهب تلك الارض جيد. هناك المقل وحجر الجزع.13 واسم النهر الثاني جيحون. وهو المحيط بجميع ارض كوش.14 واسم النهر الثالث حدّاقل. وهو الجاري شرقي اشور. والنهر الرابع الفرات15 وأخذ الرب الاله آدم ووضعه في جنة عدن ليعملها ويحفظها.16 واوصى الرب الاله آدم قائلا من جميع شجر الجنة تأكل اكلا.17 واما شجرة معرفة الخير والشر فلا تأكل منها. لانك يوم تأكل منها موتا تموت.18 وقال الرب الاله ليس جيدا ان يكون آدم وحده. فاصنع له معينا نظيره.19 وجبل الرب الاله من الارض كل حيوانات البرية وكل طيور السماء. فاحضرها الى آدم ليرى ماذا يدعوها. وكل ما دعا به آدم ذات نفس حية فهو اسمها.20 فدعا آدم باسماء جميع البهائم وطيور السماء وجميع حيوانات البرية. واما لنفسه فلم يجد معينا نظيره.21 فاوقع الرب الاله سباتا على آدم فنام. فأخذ واحدة من اضلاعه وملأ مكانها لحما.22 وبنى الرب الاله الضلع التي اخذها من آدم امرأة واحضرها الى آدم.23 فقال آدم هذه الآن عظم من عظامي ولحم من لحمي. هذه تدعى امرأة لانها من امرء اخذت.24 لذلك يترك الرجل اباه وامه ويلتصق بامرأته ويكونان جسدا واحدا.25 وكانا كلاهما عريانين آدم وامرأته وهما لا يخجلان

1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.2 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.3 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.4 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,5 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 on the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.7 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.8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.9 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 middle of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became into four heads.11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasses the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasses the whole land of Ethiopia.14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goes toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it: for in the day that you eat thereof you shall surely die.18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them: and whatever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.20 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.21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her to the man.23 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.24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall join to his wife: and they shall be one flesh.25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
