2 By the seventh day God had finished his work, and so he rested.
3 God blessed the seventh day and made it special, because on that day he rested from his work.
4 That's how God created the heavens and the earth.When the Lord God made the heavens and the earth,
5 no grass or plants were growing anywhere. God had not yet sent any rain, and there was no one to work the land.
6 But streams came up from the ground and watered the earth.
7 The Lord God took some soil from the ground and made a man. God breathed life into the man, and the man started breathing.
8 The Lord made a garden in a place called Eden, which was in the east, and he put the man there.
