3 God blessed the seventh day and made it a holy day, because on that day he rested from all the work he had done in creating the world.
4 This is the story of the creation of the sky and the earth. When the Lord God first made the earth and the sky,
5 there were still no plants on the earth. Nothing was growing in the fields because the Lord God had not yet made it rain on the land. And there was no person to care for the ground,
6 but a mist would rise up from the earth and water all the ground.
7 Then the Lord God took dust from the ground and formed a man from it. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nose, and the man became a living person.
8 Then the Lord God planted a garden in the east, in a place called Eden, and put the man he had formed into it.
9 The Lord God caused every beautiful tree and every tree that was good for food to grow out of the ground. In the middle of the garden, God put the tree that gives life and also the tree that gives the knowledge of good and evil.
