Genesis Chapter 2, Adam and Eve, 2 translations and a paraphrase

GENESIS Chapter 2, Adam and Eve

1 And were finished the heavens and the earth and all their host.
~ 2 And finished God on time the seventh His work that He had brought forth, and He rested on time the seventh from all His work that He had brought forth.
3 And blessed God time the seventh, and sanctified it, because on it He rested from all His work that had created God to bring forth.
4 These are the origins of the heavens and the earth in their being created, in the time of the bringing forth Jehovah God's earth and heavens.
5 And every shrub of the field not yet it was on the earth, and every herb of the field not yet it had sprung up; for not had rain sent Jehovah God on the earth, and a man was not to work the soil.
~ 6 And a vapor went up from the earth, and watered all the face of the soil.
~ 7 And formed Jehovah God the man dust from the soil, and blew into his nostrils breath of life, and became the man a living being.
~ 8 And planted Jehovah God a garden in Eden (pleasure), to the east; and put there the man whom He had formed.
9 And caused to sprout Jehovah God from the soil every tree pleasant to the sight and good for food; and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
~ 10 And a river went out from Eden to water the garden; and from there spread out and existed four heads.
11 The name of the one Pishon (dispersive); it winds around all the land of Havilah (circular), where there is gold;
12 And the gold of that land is good; there is bdellium and stone of the onyx.
13 And the name of the river second is Gihon (stream); it winds around all the land of Cush .
14 And the name of the river third is Hiddekel; it is the one walking east of Assyria (successful). And the river fourth it is Euphrates (fruitfulness).
15 And took Jehovah God the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and to keep it.
16 And charged Jehovah God to the man, saying, of every tree in the garden eating you may freely eat;
17 but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil not you may eat from it, for in the time of your eating ot it dying you will surely die.
18 And said Jehovah God, not it is good being of the man by himself, I will bring forth a helper corresponding to him.
19 And had formed Jehovah God from the soil every living creature of the field and every winged creature of the heavens; and He caused to come to the man to see what he would call to them, and all which might call to it the man each living creature, that was its name.
20 And called the man names to all the cattle, and to flying creatures of the heavens, and to every living creature of the field, but for Adam not was found a helper corresponding to him.
21 And caused to fall Jehovah God a sleep deep on the man, and he slept, and He took one from his sides, and shut flesh under it.
~ 22 And fashioned Jehovah God the side which He had taken from the man into a woman, and caused her to come to the man.
23 And said the man, this now is bone from my bones, flesh from my flesh. For this will be called woman, because out of man has been taken this.
24 Therefore, will leave a man his father and his mother and adhere with his woman, and they will become into flesh one.
25 And they were both nude, the man and his woman, and not they were ashamed.

1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all that they contained.
2 And on the seventh time God finished His work that He brought forth; and He rested on the seventh time from all the work that He had brought forth.
3 And God blessed the seventh time, and sanctified it; because on it He rested from all the work that He had created and brought forth.
~ 4 These are the origins of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the times that the Lord God brought forth the earth and the heavens.
5 And before every plant of the field was in the earth, and before every vegetation of the field had sprouted; for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the soil.
6 And there went up a mist (vapor,fog) from the earth, and watered the whole surface of the earth.
7 And the Lord God fashioned man from the clay of the soil, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being.
8 And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, to the east; and there He put the man who He had fashioned.
9 And out of the ground the Lord God caused to sprout every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for nourishment; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there spread out and existed four headwaters.
11 The name of the first was Pishon; that which bordered all the land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12 And the gold of that land is good; there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one winds around all the land of Cush.
14 And the name of the third is Hiddekel; it is the one going east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
~ 15 And the Lord God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to work it and to keep it.
16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, you may freely eat of every tree in the garden;
~ 17 but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil you may not eat, for from the time that you eat of it you will be doomed to die.
~ 18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will provide a helper suited to him.
19 And from the soil the Lord God had fashioned every creature of the field and every winged creature of the heavens; and He brought them to the man to see what he would call them, and what ever the man might call each living creature, that was its name.
20 And the man gave names to all four footed creatures, all winged creatures of the heavens, and every creature of the field, but for man there was not a helper suited to him.
21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept, and He took one from his sides, and closed up the flesh underneath.
22 And the Lord God fashioned the side taken from the man into a woman, and brought her to the man.
23 And the man said, this at last is bone from my bones, flesh from my flesh. For this will be called woman, because this has been taken out of man.
24 Therefore, a husband will leave his father and mother and will join to his wife, and they will become as one flesh.
25 And they were both unclothed, the man and his wife, and they were not ashamed.

1 The universe was finished.
~~ 2 And on the seventh time the Lord God completed his work and He rested.
~~ 3 He blessed and sanctified the seventh time because on it he rested from His work.

~~ 4 These were the beginnings of the universe and the phases in which God created it.
~~ 5 And before plants existed, before they had sprouted; for God had not caused it to rain and there were no farmers.
~ ~~ 6 Then there went up a vapor from the soil and watered the whole earth.
~ 7 And God fashioned man out of the clay, breathed into him the breath of life, and he became a living being.
~ 8 Then God planted a garden in Eden to the east and there He put the man.
~ 9 And out of the soil He caused to sprout every beautiful and nourishing tree; also in the midst of the garden the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and wickedness.
~ 10 A river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there was the source of four headwaters.
11 The first was Pishon which winds through all of Havilak, gold was there.
~ 12 Its gold was good and there were other precious things.
~ 13 The second river was Gihon which winds through all of Cush.
~ 14 The third was the Tigris which went east of Assyria, and the fourth was the Euphrates.
~~ 15 And God took the man and put him in the garden to take care of it.
16 And God told the man, you may freely eat of each tree in the garden,
~ 17 except for the tree of knowledge of good and wickedness, for from the time of you eating from it you will be doomed to die.
18 Then God said; It is not good for man to be alone, I will provide a mate for him.
~ 19 And God brought to the man every creature of land and air that He had fashioned to see what he would call them, and whatever he called them, that was their name.
~~~ 20 And the man gave them all names, but none of them were suited to be a mate for him.
~~~ 21 And God caused a deep sleep to come over the man and took from his side, and then He healed it.
~ 22 From the side God fashioned a woman and took her to the man.
~~ 23 The man said, she is of my bones and my flesh, therefore she will be called woman, for she was taken out of man.
~ 24 Husbands will leave their parents and join with their mate, they will be like one.
~ 25 They were both unclothed, but not embarrassed.
