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.
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.
15
And the L
ORD
God took the man, and put him
into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
16
And the L
ORD
God commanded the man, saying,
Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely 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.
18
And the L
ORD
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 L
ORD
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.
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 L
ORD
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 L
ORD
God
had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto 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 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.
CHAPTER 3
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the L
ORD
God had made. And
he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2
And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3
But
of the fruit of the tree which
is
in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it,
neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be
as gods, knowing good and evil.
6
And when the woman saw that the tree
was
good for food, and
that it
was
pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make
one
wise, she took of the fruit
thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7
And the eyes of
them both were opened, and they knew that they
were
naked; and they sewed fig leaves together,
and made themselves aprons.
8
And they heard the voice of the L
ORD
God walking in the garden
in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the L
ORD
God
amongst the trees of the garden.
9
And the L
ORD
God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where
art
thou?
10
And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I
was
naked;
and I hid myself.
11
And he said, Who told thee that thou
wast
naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree,
