Genesis 2:5-7

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵ Wild bushes and plants were not on the earth yet because the Lord God hadn’t sent rain on the earth. Also, there was no one to farm the land. ⁶ Instead, underground water would come up from the earth and water the entire surface of the ground.

⁷ Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the earth ^[a] and blew the breath of life into his nostrils. The man became a living being.
