These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Yahweh God made earth and heaven.

And no plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain on the earth: and the man was not [there] to till the ground;

And Yahweh God formed the man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living soul.

And Yahweh God planted a garden eastward, in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

And out of the ground made Yahweh God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

And Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

And Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat:

And Yahweh God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make a matching helper for him.

And out of the ground Yahweh God formed every beast of the field, and every bird of the heavens; and brought them to the man to see what he would call them: and whatever the man called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

And Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof:

and the rib, which Yahweh God had taken from the man, he made a woman, and brought her to the man.

Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which Yahweh God had made. And he said to the woman, has God really said, You shall not eat of any tree of the garden?

And they heard the voice of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God among the trees of the garden.

And Yahweh God called to the man, and said to him, Where are you?

And Yahweh God said to the woman, What is this you have done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I ate.

And Yahweh God said to the serpent, Because you have done this, cursed are you above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life:

And Yahweh God made for Adam and for his wife coats of skins, and clothed them.

And Yahweh God said, Look, the man has become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, so that he doesn't put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever-

therefore Yahweh God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.

And the man had sex with his wife Eve; and she became pregnant, and gave birth to Cain, and said, I have gotten a man with [the help of] Yahweh.
