And God said, Let us make man in our image, like us: and let him have rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every living thing which goes flat on the earth.

And God made man in his image, in the image of God he made him: male and female he made them.

And God gave them his blessing and said to them, Be fertile and have increase, and make the earth full and be masters of it; be rulers over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing moving on the earth.

And God said, See, I have given you every plant producing seed, on the face of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit producing seed: they will be for your food:

And God saw everything which he had made and it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

And on the seventh day God came to the end of all his work; and on the seventh day he took his rest from all the work which he had done.

And God gave his blessing to the seventh day and made it holy: because on that day he took his rest from all the work which he had made and done.

In the day when the Lord God made earth and heaven there were no plants of the field on the earth, and no grass had come up: for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no man to do work on the land.

And the Lord God made man from the dust of the earth, breathing into him the breath of life: and man became a living soul.

And the Lord God made a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had made.

And the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to do work in it and take care of it.

And the Lord God gave the man orders, saying, You may freely take of the fruit of every tree of the garden:

And the Lord God said, It is not good for the man to be by himself: I will make one like himself as a help to him

And from the earth the Lord God made every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and took them to the man to see what names he would give them: and whatever name he gave to any living thing, that was its name.

And the Lord God sent a deep sleep on the man, and took one of the bones from his side while he was sleeping, joining up the flesh again in its place:

And the bone which the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman, and took her to the man.

Now the snake was wiser than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, Has God truly said that you may not take of the fruit of any tree in the garden?

But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, If you take of it or put your hands on it, death will come to you.

For God sees that on the day when you take of its fruit, your eyes will be open, and you will be as gods, having knowledge of good and evil.

And there came to them the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the evening wind: and the man and his wife went to a secret place among the trees of the garden, away from the eyes of the Lord God.
