Genesis 2
Most of you had trouble reading Genesis 1 in American Standard. So here’s New Living Translation. Where you see number signs like this: 1., 2. and so on, that means it is verse 1 or 2 or 3. You may start reading now.
1. So the creation of the heavens and the earth and everything in them was completed. 2. On the seventh day, having finished his task, God rested from all his work. 3. And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day he rested from his work of creation. 4. This is the account of creation of the heavens and the earth.
The Man and Woman in Eden
When the LORD made the heavens and the earth, 5. there were no plants or grain growing from the earth, for the LORD had not sent any rain. And no one was there to cultivate the soil. 6. But water came out of the ground and watered all the land. 7. And the LORD God formed a man’s body from the dust of the ground and breathed into it the breath of life. And the man became a living person. 8. Then the Lord planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he placed the man he had created. 9. And the LORD God planted all sorts of trees in the garden- beautiful trees that produced delicious fruit. At the center of the garden he placed the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 10. A river flowed from the land of Eden, watering the garden and then dividing into four branches. 11. One of theses branches is the Pishon, which flows around the entire land of Havilah, where gold is found. 12. The gold of that land is exceptionally pure; aromatic resin and onyx stone are also found there. 13. The second branch is Gihon, which flows around the entire land of Cush. 14. The third branch is the Tigris, which flows to the east of Ashur. The fourth branch is the Euphrates. 15. The LORD God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and care for it. 16. But the LORD God gave him this warning: “You may freely eat may any fruit in the garden 17. except fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat of its fruit, you will surely die.” 18. And the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a companion who will help him.” 19. So the LORD God formed from the soil every kind of animal and bird. He brought them to Adam to see what he would call them, and Adam chose a name for each one. 20. He gave names to all the livestock, birds, and wild animals. But still there was no companion suitable for him. 21. So the LORD God caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep. He took one of Adam’s ribs and closed up the place from which he had taken it. 22. Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib and brought her to Adam. 23. “At last!” Adam exclaimed. “She is part of my own flesh and bone! She will be called ‘woman’ because she is taken out of a man.” 24. That explains why a man leaves his mother and father and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one. 25. Now, although Adam and his wife were naked, neither of them felt any shame.

Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11 And God said, Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, [and] fruit-trees bearing fruit after their kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth: and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after their kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years:
15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made the two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
20 And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that moveth, wherewith the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind: and God saw that it was good.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.
23 And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth after their kind: and it was so.
25 And God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps upon the ground after its kind: and God saw that it was good.
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.
27 And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them: and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food:
30 and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, [I have given] every green herb for food: and it was so.
31 And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
When God created the heavens and the Earth everything was perfect. Every tree, every apple, every everything.
