1. And so the heavens and the earth were completed, with all their adornment.
2. And on the seventh day, God fulfilled his work, which he had made. And on the seventh day he rested from all his work, which he had accomplished.
3. And he blessed the seventh day and sanctified it. For in it, he had ceased from all his work: the work whereby God created whatever he should make.
4. These are the generations of heaven and earth, when they were created, in the day when the Lord God made heaven and earth,
5. and every sapling of the field, before it would rise up in the land, and every wild plant, before it would germinate. For the Lord God had not brought rain upon the earth, and there was no man to work the land.
6. But a fountain ascended from the earth, irrigating the entire surface of the land.
7. And then the Lord God formed man from the clay of the earth, and he breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul.
8. Now the Lord God had planted a Paradise of enjoyment from the beginning. In it, he placed the man whom he had formed.
9. And from the soil the Lord God produced every tree that was beautiful to behold and pleasant to eat. And even the tree of life was in the midst of Paradise, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10. And a river went forth from the place of enjoyment so as to irrigate Paradise, which is divided from there into four heads.
11. The name of one is the Phison; it is that which runs through all the land of Hevilath, where gold is born;
12. and the gold of that land is the finest. In that place is found bdellium and the onyx stone.
13. And the name of the second river is the Gehon; it is that which runs through all the land of Ethiopia.
