Genesis 2TYN

1Thus was heaven and earth finished with all their apparel:

2and in the seventh day God ended his work which he had made and rested in the seventh day from all his works which he had made.

3And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it, for in it he rested from all his works which he had created and made.

4These are the generations of heaven and earth when they were created, in the time when the LORD God created heaven and earth

5and all the shrubs of the field before they were in the earth. And all the herbs of the field before they sprang: for the LORD God had yet sent no rain upon the earth, neither was there yet any man to till the earth.

6But there arose a mist out of the ground and watered all the face of the earth:

7Then the LORD God shope man, even of the mould of the earth and breathed into his face the breath of life. So man was made a living soul.

8The LORD God also planted a garden in Eden from the beginning, and there he set man whom he had formed.

9And the LORD God made to spring out of the earth, all manner trees beautiful to the sight and pleasant to eat, and the tree of life in the midst(middes) of the garden: and also the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

10And there sprong a river out of Eden to water the garden, and thence divided itself, and grew into four principal waters.

11The name of the one is Phison, he it is that compasseth all the land of Hevila, where gold groweth.

12And the gold of that country is precious, there is found bedellion and a stone called Onyx.

13The name of the second river is Gihon, which compasseth all the land of Inde.

14And the name of the third river is Hidekell, which runneth on the east side of the Assyrians; And the fourth river is Euphrates.

15And the LORD God took Adam and put him in the garden of Eden, to dress it and to keep it:

16And the LORD God commanded Adam saying: Of all the trees of the garden see thou eat:

17But of the tree of knowledge of good and bad see that thou eat not: For even the same day thou eatest of it, thou shalt surely die.(die the death)

18And the LORD God said: It is not good that man should be alone, I will make him an helper to bear him company:

19And after that the LORD God had made of the earth all manner beasts of the field, and all manner fowls of the air, he brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them. And as Adam called all manner living beasts: even so are their names.

20And Adam gave names unto all manner cattle, and unto the fowls of the air, and unto all manner beasts of the field. But there was no help found unto Adam to bear him company.

21Then the LORD God cast a slumber on Adam, and he slept. And then he took out one of his ribs, and in stead thereof he filled up the place with flesh.

22And the LORD God made of the rib which he took out of Adam, a woman, and brought her unto Adam.

23Then said Adam: This is once bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. This shall be called woman: because she was taken of the man.

24For this cause shall a man leave father and mother and cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh.

25And they were either of them naked, both Adam and his wife, and were not ashamed.
