Genesis 2

vayekhullu hashamayim veha'arets vekhol-tseva'am

The heaven and the earth were finished, and all their array.

vayekhal elohim bayyom hashevi'i melakhto asher asah vayyishbot bayyom hashevi'i mikkol-melakhto asher asah

On the seventh day God finished the work that had been undertaken, ceasing on the seventh day from doing any of the work.

vayevarekh elohim et-yom hashevi'i vayeqaddesh oto ki vo shavat mikkol-melakhto asher-bara elohim la'asot

And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy—having ceased on it from all the work of creation that God had done.

elleh toledot hashamayim veha'arets behibbare'am beyom asot Adonai elohim erets veshamayim

Such is the story of heaven and earth when they were created. When the ETERNAL God made earth and heaven—

vekhol siakh hassadeh terem yihyeh va'arets vekhol-esev hassadeh terem yitsmakh ki lo himtir Adonai elohim al-ha'arets ve'adam ayin la'avod et-ha'adamah

when no shrub of the field was yet on earth and no grasses of the field had yet sprouted, because the ETERNAL God had not sent rain upon the earth and there were no human beings to till the soil,

ve'ed ya'aleh min-ha'arets vehishqah et-kol-pene ha'adamah

but a flow would well up from the ground and water the whole surface of the earth—

vayyitser Adonai elohim et-ha'adam afar min-ha'adamah vayyippakh be'appayw nishmat khayyim vayehi ha'adam lenefesh khayyah

the ETERNAL God formed a Human from the soil’s humus, blowing into his nostrils the breath of life: the Human became a living being.

vayyitta Adonai elohim gan-be'eden miqqedem vayyasem sham et-ha'adam asher yatsar

The ETERNAL God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and placed there the Human who had been fashioned.

vayyatsmakh Adonai elohim min-ha'adamah kol-ets nekhmad lemareh vetov lema'akhal ve'ets hakhayyim betokh haggan ve'ets hadda'at tov vara

And from the ground the ETERNAL God caused to grow every tree that was pleasing to the sight and good for food, with the tree of life in the middle of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and bad.

venahar yotse me'eden lehashqot et-haggan umisham yippared vehayah le'arba'ah rashim

A river issues from Eden to water the garden, and it then divides and becomes four branches.

shem ha'ekhad pishon hu hassovev et kol-erets hakhavilah asher-sham hazzahav

The name of the first is Pishon, the one that winds through the whole land of Havilah, where the gold is.

uzehav ha'arets hahiv tov sham habbedolakh ve'even hashoham

(The gold of that land is good; bdellium is there, and lapis lazuli.)

veshem-hannahar hasheni gikhon hu hassovev et kol-erets kush

The name of the second river is Gihon, the one that winds through the whole land of Cush.

veshem hannahar hashelishi khiddeqel hu haholekh qidmat ashur vehannahar harevi'i hu ferat

The name of the third river is Tigris, the one that flows east of Asshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

vayyiqqakh Adonai elohim et-ha'adam vayyannikhehu vegan-eden le'ovdah uleshomrah

The ETERNAL God settled the Human in the garden of Eden, to till it and tend it.

vayetsav Adonai elohim al-ha'adam lemor mikkol ets-haggan akhol tokhel

And the ETERNAL God commanded the Human, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you are free to eat;

ume'ets hadda'at tov vara lo tokhal mimmennu ki beyom akholkha mimmennu mot tamut

but as for the tree of knowledge of good and bad, you must not eat of it; for as soon as you eat of it, you shall die.”

vayyomer Adonai elohim lo-tov heyot ha'adam levaddo e'eseh-llo ezer kenegdo

The ETERNAL God said, “It is not good for the Human to be alone; I will make a fitting counterpart for him.”

vayyitser Adonai elohim min-ha'adamah kol-khayyat hassadeh ve'et kol-of hashamayim vayyave el-ha'adam lirot mah-yyiqra-lo vekhol asher yiqra-lo ha'adam nefesh khayyah hu shemo

And the ETERNAL God formed out of the earth all the wild beasts and all the birds of the sky, and brought them to the Human to see what he would call them; and whatever the Human called each living creature, that would be its name.

vayyiqra ha'adam shemot lekhol-habbehemah ule'of hashamayim ulekhol khayyat hassadeh ule'adam lo-matsa ezer kenegdo

And the Human gave names to all the cattle and to the birds of the sky and to all the wild beasts; but no fitting counterpart for a human being was found.

vayyappel Adonai elohim tardemah al-ha'adam vayyishan vayyiqqakh akhat mitsalotayw vayyisgor basar takhtennah

So the ETERNAL God cast a deep sleep upon the Human; and, while he slept, [God] took one of his sides and closed up the flesh at that site.

vayyiven Adonai elohim et-hatsela asher-laqakh min-ha'adam le'isha vayevi'eha el-ha'adam

And the ETERNAL God fashioned the side that had been taken from the Human into a woman, bringing her to the Human.

vayyomer ha'adam zot happa'am etsem me'atsamay uvasar mibbesari lezot yiqqare isha ki me'ish luqkhah-zzot

Then the Human said, “This one at last Is bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh. This one shall be called the Woman, For from the Man was she taken.”

al-ken ya'azov-ish et-aviv ve'et-immo vedavaq be'ishto vehayu levasar ekhad

Hence a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, so that they become one flesh.

vayyihyu shenehem arummim ha'adam ve'ishto velo yitboshashu

The two of them were naked, the Human and his wife, yet they felt no shame.
