Genesis 2:1-5
New American Standard Bible
2 And so the heavens and the earth were completed, and all (A)their heavenly [a]lights. 2 By (B)the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and (C)He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on it He rested from all His work which God had created [b]and made.
The Creation of Man and Woman
4 [c](D)This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in (E)the day that the Lord God made earth and heaven. 5 (F)Now no shrub of the field was yet on the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, (G)for the Lord God had not sent rain upon the earth, and there was no man to [d]cultivate the ground.
