Genesis 2
Christian Standard Bible
2 So the heavens and the earth and everything in them were completed.(A) 2 On the seventh[a] day God had completed his work that he had done, and he rested[b] on the seventh day from all his work that he had done.(B) 3 God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, for on it he rested(C) from all his work of creation.(D)
Man and Woman in the Garden
4 These are the records(E) of the heavens and the earth, concerning their creation. At the time[c] that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, 5 no shrub of the field(F) had yet grown on the land,[d] and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for the Lord God had not made it rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground. 6 But mist would come up from the earth and water all the ground. 7 Then the Lord God formed the man out of the dust from the ground(G) and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils,(H) and the man became a living being.(I)
8 The Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east,(J) and there he placed the man he had formed. 9 The Lord God caused to grow out of the ground every tree pleasing in appearance and good for food, including the tree of life in the middle of the garden,(K) as well as the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.(L)
10 A river went[e] out from Eden to water the garden. From there it divided and became the source of four rivers.[f] 11 The name of the first is Pishon, which flows through the entire land of Havilah,[g](M) where there is gold. 12 Gold from that land is pure;[h] bdellium[i] and onyx[j] are also there. 13 The name of the second river is Gihon, which flows through the entire land of Cush. 14 The name of the third river is Tigris,(N) which runs east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.(O)
15 The Lord God took the man and placed him in the garden of Eden to work it and watch over it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree of the garden,(P) 17 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 certainly die.”(Q) 18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper corresponding(R) to him.” 19 The Lord God formed out of the ground every wild animal and every bird of the sky, and brought each to the man to see what he would call it.(S) And whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the sky, and to every wild animal; but for the man[k] no helper was found corresponding to him. 21 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to come over the man,(T) and he slept. God took one of his ribs and closed the flesh at that place. 22 Then the Lord God made the rib he had taken from the man into a woman and brought her to the man.(U) 23 And the man said:
This one, at last, is bone of my bone
and flesh of my flesh;
this one will be called “woman,”
for she was taken from man.(V)
24 This is why a man leaves his father and mother and bonds with his wife, and they become one flesh.(W) 25 Both the man and his wife were naked, yet felt no shame.
Genesis 2
New King James Version
The Garden of Eden
2 Thus the heavens and the earth, and (A)all the host of them, were finished. 2 (B)And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. 3 Then God (C)blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.
4 (D)This is the [a]history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, 5 before any (E)plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the Lord God had not (F)caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man (G)to till the ground; 6 but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.
7 And the Lord God formed man of the (H)dust of the ground, and (I)breathed into his (J)nostrils the breath of life; and (K)man became a living being.
Life in God’s Garden
8 The Lord God planted (L)a garden (M)eastward in (N)Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. 9 And out of the ground the Lord God made (O)every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. (P)The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and (Q)evil.
10 Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it parted and became four riverheads. 11 The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one which skirts (R)the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 And the gold of that land is good. (S)Bdellium and the onyx stone are there. 13 The name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one which goes around the whole land of Cush. 14 The name of the third river is (T)Hiddekel;[b] it is the one which goes toward the east of [c]Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 Then the Lord God took [d]the man and put him in the garden of Eden to [e]tend and keep it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (U)you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it (V)you[f] shall surely (W)die.”
18 And the Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; (X)I will make him a helper comparable to him.” 19 (Y)Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and (Z)brought them to [g]Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him.
21 And the Lord God caused a (AA)deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. 22 Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He [h]made into a woman, (AB)and He (AC)brought her to the man.
23 And Adam said:
“This is now (AD)bone of my bones
And flesh of my flesh;
She shall be called [i]Woman,
Because she was (AE)taken out of [j]Man.”
24 (AF)Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and (AG)be[k] joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
25 (AH)And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not (AI)ashamed.

创世记 2
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
2 天和地，以及万象都完成了。 2 到第七日， 神已经完成了造物之工，就在第七日安息了，歇了他所做一切的工。 3 神赐福给第七日，将它分别为圣，因为在这日， 神安息了，歇了他所做一切创造的工。 4 这就是天地创造的来历。
创造的另一记载
在耶和华 神造地和天的时候， 5 地上还没有田野的草木，田间的菜蔬还没有长出来，因为耶和华 神还没有降雨在地上，也没有人耕种土地。 6 但是，有雾气从地上腾，滋润整个土地的表面。 7 耶和华 神用地上的尘土造人，将生命之气吹进他的鼻孔，这人就成了有灵的活人[a]。 8 耶和华 神在东方的伊甸栽了一个园子，把所造的人安置在那里。 9 耶和华 神使各样的树从土地里长出来，可以悦人的眼目，好作食物。园子当中有生命树和知善恶的树[b]。
10 有一条河从伊甸流出来，滋润那园子，从那里分成四个源头： 11 第一条名叫比逊，它环绕哈腓拉全地，在那里有金子。 12 那地的金子很好，在那里也有珍珠[c]和红玛瑙。 13 第二条河名叫基训，它环绕古实全地。 14 第三条河名叫底格里斯，它流到亚述的东边。第四条河就是幼发拉底。
15 耶和华 神把那人安置在伊甸园，让他耕耘看管。 16 耶和华 神吩咐那人说：“园中各样树上所出的，你可以随意吃， 17 只是知善恶的树所出的，你不可吃，因为你吃它的日子必定死！”
18 耶和华 神说：“那人单独一个不好，我要为他造一个配偶帮助他。” 19 耶和华 神用泥土造了野地各样的走兽和天空各样的飞鸟，都带到那人面前，看他叫什么。那人怎样叫各样的动物，那就是它的名字。 20 那人就给一切牲畜、天空的飞鸟和野地各样的走兽都起了名。只是亚当[d]没有找到配偶帮助他。 21 耶和华 神使他沉睡，他就睡了；于是取下他的一根肋骨，又在原处把肉合起来。 22 耶和华 神就用那人身上所取的肋骨造了一个女人，带她到那人面前。 23 那人说：
“这是我骨中的骨，
肉中的肉，
可以称她为女人，
因为她是从男人身上取出来的。”
24 因此，人要离开父母，与妻子结合，二人成为一体。 25 当时夫妻二人赤身露体，并不觉得羞耻。
