          DASV: Genesis 2    

1 So the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their hosts.
2 And on the seventh day God finished the work he had
done, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work that he had
done.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy; because on it
he rested from all the work that he had done in creation.

4 This is the account of the heavens and of the earth when they
were created, in the day when the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
5 when no bush of the field was yet on the earth, and no plant of
the field had yet sprung up; for the LORD God had not caused it to
rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground;
6 but a mist came up from the earth, and watered the whole surface
of the ground.
7 Then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground, and
breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a
living being.
8 Now the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, that is in the east;
and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 And out of the ground the LORD God made every tree grow that is
pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life and the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil were in the middle of the garden.
10 And a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from
there it divided and became four branches.
11 The name of the first is Pishon. It flows around the whole land
of Havilah, where there is gold.
12 And the gold of that land is good; the fragrant bdellium resin
and onyx stone are also there.
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon. It flows around the
whole land of Cush.
14 And the name of the third river is Tigris. It goes along the
east side of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

15 Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden
to tend and to keep it.
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, "You are free to eat
of any tree of the garden
17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you may not eat,
for in the day that you eat it you will surely die."

18 Then the LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone.
I will make him a helper suitable for him."
19 So out of the ground the LORD God had formed every beast of the
field, and every bird of the sky; and brought them to the man to see
what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living
creature, that was its name.
20 And the man gave names to all livestock, and to the birds of the sky,
and to every beast of the field; but for the man there was no suitable
helper found.
21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. While
the man slept he took one of his ribs, and closed up the place with flesh.
22 And from the rib, that the LORD God had taken from the man, he
made a woman, and brought her to the man.
23 Then the man said, "This at last is bone of my bones, and flesh of
my flesh. She will be called 'Woman,' because she was taken out of 'Man.'"
24 That is why a man leaves his father and his mother, and is joined
to his wife, and they become one flesh.
25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.
