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.*2.3 created…: Heb. created to make

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 upon 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.*2.6 there…: or, a mist which went up from, etc. 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.*2.7 of the dust…: Heb. dust of the ground

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 midst 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 thence it was parted, and became into four heads. 11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth 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 compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.*2.13 Ethiopia: Heb. Cush 14 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.*2.14 toward…: or, eastward to Assyria 15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.*2.15 the man: or, Adam

16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:*2.16 thou…: Heb. eating thou shalt eat 17 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.*2.17 thou shalt surely…: Heb. dying thou shalt 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.*2.18 meet…: Heb. as before 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 unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.*2.19 Adam: or, the man 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.*2.20 gave: Heb. called

21 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; 22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.*2.22 made: Heb. builded 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.*2.23 Woman: Heb. Isha*2.23 Man: Heb. Ish 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

1 这样，天地万物都造齐了。2 第七日，　神完成了他所作的工；在第七日　神歇了他所作的一切工。3 　神赐福第七日，把它分别为圣，因为在这一日，　神停了他一切所创造的工，歇息了。

4 这是创造天地的起源：耶和华　神造天地的时候，5 原野上还没有树木，田间的蔬菜还没有长起来，因为耶和华　神还没有降雨在地上，也没有人耕种土地；6 不过有雾气从地面上升，滋润全地。7 耶和华　神用地上的尘土造成人形，把生气吹进他的鼻孔里，那人就成了有生命的活人，名叫亚当。8 耶和华　神在东方的伊甸，栽了一个园子，把他所造的人放在那里。9 耶和华　神使各样的树从地上长起来，能悦人的眼目，也好作食物。园子中间又有生命树，和知善恶树。

10 有一条河从伊甸流出来，灌溉那园子；从那里分支，成了四道河的源头。11 第一道河名叫比逊，就是环绕哈腓拉全地的，在那里有金子；12 那地的金子是好的；在那里也有红玉和玛瑙。13 第二道河名叫基训，就是环绕古实全地的。14 第三道河名叫底格里斯河*"底格里斯河"原文作"希底结"，就是流向亚述东边的。第四道河就是幼发拉底河*"幼发拉底河"原文作"伯拉河"。15 耶和华　神把那人安置在伊甸园里，叫他耕种和看守那园子。16 耶和华　神吩咐那人说："园中各样树上的果子，你都可以吃；17 只是那知善恶树的果子，你不可吃；因为你吃的时候，你必要死。"

18 耶和华　神说："那人独居不好，我要为他造个和他相配的帮手。"19 耶和华　神用泥土造了野地的各样野兽，和空中的各样飞鸟，把牠们都带到那人面前，看他给牠们叫甚么名字；那人怎样叫各样有生命的活物，那就是牠的名字。20 那人就给各样牲畜、空中的雀鸟，和野地的各样走兽起了名字；只是那人没有遇见一个和他相配的帮手。21 耶和华　神使那人沉睡。他熟睡的时候，耶和华　神取了他的一根肋骨，又使肉在原处复合。22 然后，耶和华　神用从那人身上所取的肋骨，造了一个女人，带她到那人面前。23 那人说：

"这是我骨中的骨，

肉中的肉；

她当称为女人，

因她是从男人身上取出来的。"

24 因此人要离开父母，和妻子连合，二人成为一体。25 那时，夫妻二人赤身露体，彼此都不觉得羞耻。
