1. The heavens and the earth and all who live in them were completed.
2. On the sixth day God completed all the work that he had done, and on the seventh day God rested from all the work that he had done.
3. God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all the work of creation.
4. This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created.On the day the Lord God made earth and sky—
5. before any wild plants appeared on the earth, and before any field crops grew, because the Lord God hadn’t yet sent rain on the earth and there was still no human being to farm the fertile land,
6. though a stream rose from the earth and watered all of the fertile land—
7. the Lord God formed the human from the topsoil of the fertile land and blew life’s breath into his nostrils. The human came to life.
8. The Lord God planted a garden in Eden in the east and put there the human he had formed.
