1And the heavens and the earth were completed (finished), and all their host (army, war, warfare, host of angels); 2and God completed by the seventh day His work which He had made, and ceased by the seventh day from all His work which He had made. 3And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it, for in it He had ceased from all His work which God had prepared for making.

4These [are] births of the heavens and of the earth in their being prepared, in the day of Jehovah God’s making earth and heavens; 5and no shrub of the field is yet in the earth, and no herb of the field yet sprouts, for Jehovah God hath not rained upon the earth, and a man there is not to serve the ground, 6and a mist went up from the earth, and has watered the whole face of the ground. 7And Jehovah God forms the man — dust from the ground, and breaths into his nostrils breath of life, and the man becomes a living creature.

8And Jehovah God planted a garden in Eden, at the east, and He sat there the man whom He hath formed; 9and Jehovah God caused to sprout from the ground every tree desirable for appearance, and good for food, and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

10And a river is going out from Eden to water the garden, and from thence it is parted, and hath become four chief [rivers]; 11the name of the one [is] Pison, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of the Havilah where the gold [is], 12and the gold of that land [is] good, there [is] the bdolach and the shoham stone; 13and the name of the second river [is] Gibon, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of Cush; 14and the name of the third river [is] Hiddekel, it [is] that which is going east of Asshur; and the fourth river is Phrat.

15And Jehovah God took the man, and caused him to rest in the garden of Eden, to serve it, and to keep it. 16And Jehovah God laid a charge on the man, saying, ‘Of every tree of the garden eating thou dost eat; 17and of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou dost not eat of it, for in the day of thine eating of it — dying thou dost die.’

18And Jehovah God said, ‘Not good for the man to be alone, I do make to him an helper — as his counterpart.’ 19And Jehovah God formed from the ground every beast of the field, and every fowl of the heavens, and brought in unto the man, to see what he doth call it; and whatever the man called a living creature, that [is] its name. 20And the man called names to all the cattle, and to fowl of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; and to man hath not been found an helper — as his counterpart.

21And Jehovah God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept, and He took one of his ribs, and closed up flesh in its stead. 22And Jehovah God built up the rib which He hath taken out of the man into a woman, and brought her in unto the man;

23and the man said, ‘This [is] the [proper] step! bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh!’ for this it is called Woman, for from a man had this been taken;

24therefore doth a man leave (forsake, loose) his father and his mother (in the sense of a new primary loyalty), and has cleaved (cling, keep close) unto his wife, and they have become one flesh (body, meat, basar in Hebrew, latin is carne like carnal). 25And they are both of them naked (nudus in latin like nude), the man and his wife, and they are not ashamed of themselves.
