Genesis 2 Intro: The history of the creation continued -- Marriage instituted -- The day of rest.
1 Thus the heaven and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day, I, God, ended my work, and all things which I had made; and I rested on the seventh day from all my work; and all things which I had made were finished. And I, God, saw that they were good.
3 And I, God, blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it, because that in it I had rested from all my work, which I, God, had created and made.
4 And now, behold, I say unto you, that these are the generations of the heaven, and of the earth, when they were created in the day that I the Lord God made the heaven and the earth, and every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew;
5 For I, the Lord God, created all things of which I have spoken spiritually, before they were naturally upon the face of the earth; for I, the Lord God, had not caused it to rain upon the face of the earth.
6 And I, the Lord God, had created all the children of men, and not yet a man to till the ground, for in heaven created I them, and there was not yet flesh upon the earth, neither in the water, neither in the air;
7 But I, the Lord God, spake, and there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
8 And I, the Lord God, formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul; the first flesh upon the earth, the first man also;
9 Nevertheless, all things were before created, but spiritually were they created and made, according to my word.
10 And I, the Lord God, planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there I put the man whom I had formed.
