## đ Scripture Text (NET)
[[#Verse 01.]] The heavens and the earth were completed with everything that was in them.Â
[[#Verse 02.]] By the seventh day God finished the work that he had been doing, and he ceased on the seventh day all the work that he had been doing.Â
[[#Verse 03.]] God blessed the seventh day and made it holy because on it he ceased all the work that he had been doing in creation. [[#Verse Three.|notes]]
### The Creation of Man and Woman
[[#Verse 04.]] This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were createdâwhen the Lord God made the earth and heavens.
[[#Verse 05.]] Now no shrub of the field had yet grown on the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground.Â
[[#Verse 06.]] Springs would well up from the earth and water the whole surface of the ground.Â
[[#Verse 07.]] The Lord God formed the man from the soil of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
[[#Verse 08.]] The Lord God planted an orchard in the east, in Eden; and there he placed the man he had formed.Â
[[#Verse 09.]] The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow from the soil, every tree that was pleasing to look at and good for food. (Now the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil were in the middle of the orchard.)
[[#Verse 10.]] Now a river flows from Eden to water the orchard, and from there it divides into four headstreams.Â
[[#Verse 11.]] The name of the first is Pishon; it runs through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold.Â
[[#Verse 12.]]  (The gold of that land is pure;pearls and lapis lazuli are also there).Â
[[#Verse 13.]] The name of the second river is Gihon; it runs through the entire land of Cush.Â
[[#Verse 14.]] The name of the third river is Tigris; it runs along the east side of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.
[[#Verse 15.]] The Lord God took the man and placed him in the orchard in Eden to care for it and to maintain it.Â
[[#Verse 16.]] Then the Lord God commanded the man, âYou may freely eat fruit from every tree of the orchard,Â
[[#Verse 17.]] but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will surely die.â
[[#Verse 18.]] The Lord God said, âIt is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a companion for him who corresponds to him.âÂ
[[#Verse 19.]] The Lord God formed out of the ground every living animal of the field and every bird of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them, and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.Â
[[#Verse 20.]]Â So the man named all the animals, the birds of the air, and the living creatures of the field, but for Adam no companion who corresponded to him was found.Â
[[#Verse 21.]] So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he was asleep, he took part of the manâs side and closed up the place with flesh.Â
[[#Verse 22.]] Then the LordGod made a woman from the part he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.Â
[[#Verse 23.]]Â Then the man said,
âThis one at last is bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
this one will be called âwoman,â
for she was taken out of man.â
[[#Verse 24.]] That is why a man leaves his father and mother and unites with his wife, and they become one family.Â
[[#Verse 25.]] The man and his wife were both naked, but they were not ashamed.

* The sabbath is a lasting principle. While many try to parse the difference between what is binding today and not due to the fulfillment of the Law in Christ, the concept of sabbath rest predates the Law.
