Genesis Chapter 2

On the seventh day, the whole universe was finished. God rested from His work on the holy day because He was done with His creation. When God made the universe, there were no fields for plants or seeds to be grown. Therefore, God made water pop up from beneath the ground. Next, God formed the soil from the ground and created a man out of it after he breathed his breath from his nostrils and the man began to live freely with God.

After God formed the man, He planted the garden in the east section called the Garden of Eden, such as different kinds of plants and trees and fruit for producing good food. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil was in the middle of the garden.  A stream flowed in the garden and it split apart into four rivers. The Lord placed the man in Eden to grow and keep watch of the garden. God said to the man, “You can eat the fruit of any kind of tree here in this garden except the tree of knowledge of good and evil and you will not eat the fruit there from that tree. However, if you eat that fruit, you shall die.” 

The Lord realized that it wasn’t right for the man to live alone. So He made a special companion to help the man out. He took a piece of soil and made all the animals and birds after He sent them to the man to recognize them by name. God made the man fall asleep and the man took one of his ribs to close up his flesh. The Lord created a special woman with the rib after bringing her to the man. 

The man said, “Here is one of my kind. She will be called ‘Woman.’” That is why a man should leave his father and mother to enjoy life with his wife, and the two shall become one body. The man and woman were both naked, but unashamed of God.
