The Lord God formed ¹  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 ²  name them, and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.

the water coming downstream toward them stopped flowing. ¹  It piled up far upstream ²  at Adam (the city near Zarethan); there was no water at all flowing to the sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea). ³  The people crossed the river opposite Jericho. ⁴ 

But to Adam ¹  he said, “Because you obeyed ²  your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’ cursed is the ground ³  thanks to you; ⁴  in painful toil you will eat ⁵  of it all the days of your life.

So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, ¹  and while he was asleep, ²  he took part of the man’s side ³  and closed up the place with flesh. ⁴ 

He created them male and female; when they were created, he blessed them and named them “humankind.” ¹ 

The man and his wife were both naked, ¹  but they were not ashamed. ² 

Then the man said, “This one at last ¹  is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one will be called ²  ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of ³  man.” ⁴ 

Then the Lord God made ¹  a woman from the part he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God moving about ¹  in the orchard at the breezy time ²  of the day, and they hid ³  from the Lord God among the trees of the orchard.

When the Most High ¹  gave the nations their inheritance, when he divided up humankind, ²  he set the boundaries of the peoples, according to the number of the heavenly assembly. ³ 

So then, just as sin entered the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all people ¹  because ²  all sinned –

The man said, “The woman whom you gave me, she gave ¹  me some fruit ²  from the tree and I ate it.”

So the Lord God expelled him ¹  from the orchard in Eden to cultivate the ground from which he had been taken.

The Lord watches ¹  from heaven; he sees all people. ² 

Then the Lord God commanded ¹  the man, “You may freely eat ²  fruit ³  from every tree of the orchard,

“Surely you know ¹  that it has been from old, ever since humankind was placed ²  on the earth,

Does the one who disciplines the nations not punish? He is the one who imparts knowledge to human beings!

For since death came through a man, ¹  the resurrection of the dead also came through a man. ² 

The first man is from the earth, made of dust; the second man is from heaven.

The Lord God took the man and placed ¹  him in the orchard in ²  Eden to care for it and to maintain it. ³
