Genesis 2:1-12 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

1. And the heaven and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

2. And on the seventh day God finished 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 hallowed it: because that in it he rested from all his work which God had created and made.

4. These are the generations of the heaven and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made earth and heaven.

5. And no plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up: 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.

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 midst of the garden, and the tree of the 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 four heads.

11. The name of the first is Pishon: 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.
