Genesis 2:5-8
English Standard Version
5 When no (A)bush of the field[a] was yet in the land[b] and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up—for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man (B)to work the ground, 6 and a mist[c] was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground— 7 then the Lord God formed the man of (C)dust from the ground and (D)breathed into his (E)nostrils the breath of life, and (F)the man became a living creature. 8 And the Lord God planted a (G)garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
