Genesis 2:5-9
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. 9 And out of the ground the Lord God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. (H)The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, (I)and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Genesis 3:17-19
English Standard Version
17 And to Adam he said,
“Because you have listened to the voice of your wife
and have eaten of the tree
(A)of which I commanded you,
‘You shall not eat of it,’
(B)cursed is the ground because of you;
(C)in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;
18 thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you;
and you shall eat the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your face
you shall eat bread,
till you return to the ground,
for out of it you were taken;
(D)for you are dust,
and (E)to dust you shall return.”
