Genesis 2:2-7
New International Version
2 By the seventh day(A) God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.(B) 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy,(C) because on it he rested(D) from all the work of creating(E) that he had done.
Adam and Eve
4 This is the account(F) of the heavens and the earth when they were created,(G) when the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.
5 Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth[a] and no plant had yet sprung up,(H) for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth(I) and there was no one to work the ground, 6 but streams[b] came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground. 7 Then the Lord God formed(J) a man[c](K) from the dust(L) of the ground(M) and breathed into his nostrils the breath(N) of life,(O) and the man became a living being.(P)
