Genesis 2

Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their host. On the seventh day God finished the work he had done, and on the seventh day he rested from all the work he had done. God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work God had done in creating. This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the LORD God made the earth and the heavens. No shrub of the field was yet on the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for the LORD God had not sent rain on the earth, and there was no man to work the ground. But a mist would rise from the earth and water the whole surface of the ground. Then the LORD God formed the man from dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. The LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he placed the man he had formed. The LORD God made every tree that was pleasing to the sight and good for food grow out of the ground. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and so was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it divided into four branches. The name of the first is Pishon. It encircles the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. The gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx are also found there. The name of the second river is Gihon. It encircles the whole land of Cush. The name of the third river is the Tigris. It flows east of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates. The LORD God took the man and placed him in the garden of Eden to work it and care for it. The LORD God commanded the man, saying, “You may freely eat from every tree in the garden, but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for on the day you eat from it you will surely die.” Then the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” The LORD God formed out of the ground every animal of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. The man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the sky, and every animal of the field, but for the man no suitable helper was found. So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept. God took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh in its place. The LORD God fashioned the rib he had taken from the man into a woman and brought her to the man. Then the man said, “At last, this is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. She will be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they will become one flesh. The man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
