Genesis 2:5-7
Legacy Standard Bible
5 (A)Now no shrub of the field was yet in the earth, and no plant of the field had yet grown, (B)for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no man to [a]cultivate the ground. 6 But a [b]stream would rise from the earth and water the whole [c]surface of the ground. 7 Then Yahweh God formed man of (C)dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and so the (D)man became a living [d]being.

Genesis 2:5-7
New King James Version
5 before any (A)plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the Lord God had not (B)caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man (C)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 (D)dust of the ground, and (E)breathed into his (F)nostrils the breath of life; and (G)man became a living being.
