And the Lord God created man

7 And the Lord God made man out of the dust of the earth, and breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul.
8 And the Lord God planted a paradise in Eden in the east, and placed there the man he had made.
9 And the Lord God raised from the earth every tree that is pleasing to the sight and good for food, and the tree of life in the midst of paradise, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 A river went out of Eden to water paradise; and then split into four rivers.
11 The name of one is Pison: it flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12 and the gold of that land is good; there is bdellium and onyx stone.
13 The name of the second river is Gihon [Geon]: it flows around the entire land of Kush.
14 The name of the third river is Hiddekel [Tigris]: it flows in front of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 And the Lord God took the man [whom he had made] and put him in the garden of Eden, to cultivate it and keep it.
16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree in the garden you will eat,
17 But you shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for in the day you eat of it, you will die a death.
18 And the Lord God said, It is not good for the man to be alone; let us make him a helper corresponding to him.
19 The Lord God formed out of the earth all the animals of the field and all the birds of the air, and brought [them] to man, so that he might see what he would call them, and that, as a man called every living soul, so be its name.
20 And the man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for man there was no helper like him.
