Genesis 2
Ready to read
1
And so the creation of the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.[1]
Communion & Prayer
Breaking of bread and prayer: communion centers the church on Jesus; prayer is consecration and submission to God.
Pastor John Doe
2
By the seventh day,[2] God had completed creating his masterpiece, so on the seventh day, he rested from all his work.
3
So God blessed the seventh day and made it sacred, because on it, he paused to rest[3] from all his work of creation.
4
This is the account[4] of the heavens and the earth after they were created.[5]
5
there was yet no vegetation, grains of the field, or shrubs sprouting on the earth, for there was no one to cultivate the land,[8] and Yahweh-God had not yet sent rain.
6
In those days a mist[9] arose from the soil and watered the whole face of the ground.
7
Yahweh-God scooped up a lump of soil,[10] sculpted a man, and blew into his nostrils the breath of life.[11] The man came alive—a living soul![12]
8
Then Yahweh-God planted[13] a lush garden paradise[14] in the East,[15] in the Land of Delight,[16] and there he placed the man he had formed.
9
Yahweh-God made all kinds of beautiful trees to grow there—fruitful trees to satisfy the taste. In the middle of the garden,[17] he planted the Tree of Life[18] and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.[19]
10
Flowing from the Land of Delight was a river[20] to water the garden, and from there, it divided into four branches.[21]
11
The first river, Overflowing Increase,[22] encircles the gold-laden land of Havilah.[23]
12
The gold of that land is pure, with many pearls and onyx[24] found there.[25]
13
The second river, Gushing,[26] flows through the entire land of Cush.[27]
14
The third river, Swift Flowing,[28] flows east of Assyria.[29] And the fourth is the river Fruitfulness.[30]
15
Yahweh-God took[31] the man and placed him in the garden of Eden to work[32] and watch over it.[33]
16
And Yahweh-God commanded him, “You may freely eat of every fruit[34] of the garden.
17
But you must not eat of the Tree that gives the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will most certainly die.”[35]
18
Then Yahweh-God said, “It is not good[36] for the man to be alone. Therefore, I will fashion a suitable partner to be his help and strength.”[37]
Woman is a helper
God identified Himself as a “Helper” (Heb. ‘ezer) to Israel (Ex. 18:4; Deut. 33:7). The word does not imply inferiority. It describes function rather than worth. No one loses...

For Yahweh-God had formed from the soil every animal of the field and every bird of the air and brought them before the man to see what he would call them. So, whatever the man called the living creature, that was its name.[38]

20
He gave names to all the various cattle, birds, and wild animals, but Adam could not find a fitting companion that corresponded to him.
21
So Yahweh-God caused Adam to fall into a deep trance, and while he slept, he took a portion of Adam’s side[39] and closed its place with flesh.
22
Then Yahweh-God used the portion of Adam’s side and skillfully crafted[40] a woman and presented her to him.[41]
23
Then Adam said:
24
For this reason, a man leaves his father and his mother to be unselfishly attached to[43] his wife. They become one flesh as a new family!
