Genesis 2:4-9

The Creation of Man and Woman

4 ^aThese are the generations
of the heavens and the earth when they were created,
in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.
5 When no ^bbush of the field ^{▼▼Or open country} was yet in the land ^{▼▼Or earth; also verse 6} and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up—for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man ^eto work the ground, 6 and a mist ^{▼▼Or spring} was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground— 7 then the Lord God formed the man of ^gdust from the ground and ^hbreathed into his ⁱnostrils the breath of life, and ^jthe man became a living creature. 8 And the Lord God planted a ^kgarden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. 9 And out of the ground the Lord God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. ^lThe tree of life was in the midst of the garden, ^mand the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
