制定安息日

這樣,天地萬物都造齊了。 第七日, 神完成了他所作的工;在第七日 神歇了他所作的一切工。  神賜福第七日,把它分別為聖,因為在這一日, 神停了他一切所創造的工,歇息了。

創造男人並設置伊甸園

這是創造天地的起源:耶和華 神造天地的時候, 原野上還沒有樹木,田間的蔬菜還沒有長起來,因為耶和華 神還沒有降雨在地上,也沒有人耕種土地; 不過有霧氣從地面上升,滋潤全地。 耶和華 神用地上的塵土造成人形,把生氣吹進他的鼻孔裡,那人就成了有生命的活人,名叫亞當。 耶和華 神在東方的伊甸,栽了一個園子,把他所造的人放在那裡。 耶和華 神使各樣的樹從地上長起來,能悅人的眼目,也好作食物。園子中間又有生命樹,和知善惡樹。

10 有一條河從伊甸流出來,灌溉那園子;從那裡分支,成了四道河的源頭。 11 第一道河名叫比遜,就是環繞哈腓拉全地的,在那裡有金子; 12 那地的金子是好的;在那裡也有紅玉和瑪瑙。 13 第二道河名叫基訓,就是環繞古實全地的。 14 第三道河名叫底格里斯河(“底格里斯河”原文作“希底結”),就是流向亞述東邊的。第四道河就是幼發拉底河(“幼發拉底河”原文作“伯拉河”)。 15 耶和華 神把那人安置在伊甸園裡,叫他耕種和看守那園子。 16 耶和華 神吩咐那人說:“園中各樣樹上的果子,你都可以吃; 17 只是那知善惡樹的果子,你不可吃;因為你吃的時候,你必要死。”

創造女人並建立婚姻

18 耶和華 神說:“那人獨居不好,我要為他造個和他相配的幫手。” 19 耶和華 神用泥土造了野地的各樣野獸,和空中的各樣飛鳥,把牠們都帶到那人面前,看他給牠們叫甚麼名字;那人怎樣叫各樣有生命的活物,那就是牠的名字。 20 那人就給各樣牲畜、空中的雀鳥,和野地的各樣走獸起了名字;只是那人沒有遇見一個和他相配的幫手。 21 耶和華 神使那人沉睡。他熟睡的時候,耶和華 神取了他的一根肋骨,又使肉在原處復合。 22 然後,耶和華 神用從那人身上所取的肋骨,造了一個女人,帶她到那人面前。 23 那人說:

“這是我骨中的骨,

肉中的肉;

她當稱為女人,

因她是從男人身上取出來的。”

24 因此人要離開父母,和妻子連合,二人成為一體。 25 那時,夫妻二人赤身露體,彼此都不覺得羞恥。

Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,

And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

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.

10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;

12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.

13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.

14 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.

15 And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17 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.

18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

19 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.

20 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.

21 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;

22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

23 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.

24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
