Genesis 2:5-8
New International Version
5 Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth[a] and no plant had yet sprung up,(A) for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth(B) 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(C) a man[c](D) from the dust(E) of the ground(F) and breathed into his nostrils the breath(G) of life,(H) and the man became a living being.(I)
8 Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden;(J) and there he put the man he had formed.
