4 This is the time that Elohim Yahweh - Gods Yahweh - made earth and heavens,
5 and every shrub of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew; for Elohim Yahweh had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground.
6 But water flowed up from the earth, and moistened the whole surface of the ground.
7 And Elohim Yahweh formed a human being, from lumps of red clay ,(an earthling from the earth) and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the human became a living soul.
8 And Elohim Yahweh planted a garden in Pleasant-Land eastward, and there settled the human whom he had formed.
9 And out of the ground Elohim Yahweh made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; and the tree of life, in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 And a river rises in Pleasant-Land, to water the garden; and from there it parted, and became four main streams.
11 The name of the one is Gusher: that is it which meanders through the land of Sout Arabia, where the gold is.
12 And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and the onyx stone are there.
13 And the name of the second river is Bubbler: that is it which meanders through the whole land of Kussu.
14 And the name of the third river is Tigris: that is it which flows east toward Asshur. And the fourth river, that is Euphrates.
15 And Elohim Yahweh took the human, and settled him into the garden of Pleasant-Land, to till it and to guard it.
16 And Elohim Yahweh commanded the human, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;
17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it; for in the day that you eat of it you shall be doomed to death."
18 And Elohim Yahweh said, "It is not good that the human should be alone; I will make him a companion, his like."
19 And out of the ground Elohim Yahweh had formed every animal of the field and all fowl of the heavens, and brought them to the human, to see what he would call them; and whatever the human called each living soul, that was its name.
20 And the human gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but as for the human, he found no companion, his like.
21 And Elohim Yahweh caused a deep sleep to fall upon the human; and he slept. And he took one of his ribs and closed up flesh in its stead.
22 And Elohim Yahweh built the rib that he had taken from the human into a woman; and brought her to the human.
23 And the human said, "This time, this is it! It is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh: this shall be called woman, because this was taken out of a man.
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and cling to his wife; and they shall become one flesh."
