he had formed.
01:002:009 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is
pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden,
and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
01:002:010 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was
parted, and became into four heads.
01:002:011 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of
Havilah, where there is gold;
01:002:012 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
01:002:013 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the
whole land of Ethiopia.
01:002:014 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.
01:002:015 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to
dress it and to keep it.
01:002:016 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden
thou mayest freely eat:
01:002:017 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.
01:002:018 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will
make him an help meet for him.
01:002:019 And out of the ground the LORD 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.
01:002:020 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.
01:002:021 And the LORD 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;
01:002:022 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman,
and brought her unto the man.
01:002:023 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.
01:002:024 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto
his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
01:002:025 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
01:003:001 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD
God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of
every tree of the garden?
01:003:002 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of
the garden:
01:003:003 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.
01:003:004 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
01:003:005 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.
01:003:006 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.
01:003:007 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.
01:003:008 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool
of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God
amongst the trees of the garden.
01:003:009 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
01:003:010 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was
naked; and I hid myself.
01:003:011 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree,
whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
01:003:012 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me
of the tree, and I did eat.
01:003:013 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that
