4This is the history of the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Yahweh God made earth and the heavens.
5No plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain on the earth. There was not a man to till the ground,
6but a mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole surface of the ground.
7Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
8Yahweh God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9Out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10A river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became four heads.
