day he rested from all his worke which
he had made. note
3 And God note blessed the seuenth daye,

created, in the day when the Lord God
made the earth and the heauens.
5 And euery plant of the fielde before it
was in the earth, and euery hearbe of
the fielde before it grewe. For the Lord
God had not [yet] caused it to rayne vppon
the earth, neither [was there] a man
to tyll the grounde.
6 But there went vp a miste from the
earth, ∧ watered the whole face of the
grounde.
B
7 The Lorde God also dyd shape man,
[euen] note dust fr&obar; of the grounde, ∧ breathed
into his nosethrylles the breath of
lyfe, and man was a lyuyng soule.
8 And the Lord God note planted a note garden
eastwarde in note Eden, and there he
put the man whom he had shapen.
9 Moreouer, out of the grounde made
the Lorde God to growe note euery
tree, that was fayre to syght, and pleasaunt
to eate: The tree note of lyfe in the
myddest of the garden, and the tree of
note knowledge of good and euyll.
10 And out of Eden there went foorth a
flood to water the garden, and from
thence it was deuided, and became into
foure heades.
11 The name of þe; first is note Pison, the same
is it that compasseth the whole lande of
note Hauilah, where there is golde:
12 And the golde of the lande is very
good. There is also Bdellium, and the
Onix stone.
13 The name of the seconde riuer is Gyhon:
the same is it that compasseth the
whole lande of note Ethiopia.
C
14 The name of þe; thirde ryuer is note Hidekel,
∧ it goeth toward the east side of Assiria:
∧ the fourth ryuer is Euphrates.
15 And the Lord God toke the man, and
put hym in the garden of Eden, that he
myght note worke it, and kepe it.
16 And the Lorde God note commaunded
the man, saying: eating, thou shalt eate
of euery tree of the garden:
17 But as touching the tree of knowlege
of good and euyll thou shalt not eate of
it: For in what daye so euer thou eatest
therof, thou shalt dye the note death.
18 And the Lord God sayde: It is not
good þt; the man should be alone, I wyll
make hym an note helpe note lyke vnto hym.
19 And so out of the grounde the Lorde
God had shapen euery beast of the field,
and euery foule of the ayre, and brought
it vnto man, that he myght see howe he
woulde call it. For lykewyse as man
hym selfe named euery lyuyng thyng,
euen so was the name therof.
D
20 And the man note gaue names to all cattell,
and foule of the ayre, ∧ euery beast
of the fielde: but for man founde he not
an helpe lyke vnto hym.
21 The Lord God caused a deepe sleepe
to fall vpon Adam, and he slept, and he
toke one of his ribbes, and closed vp
the place with fleshe in steade therof.
22 And the ribbe which the lord god had
taken from man, note made he a woman, ∧
note brought her vnto the man.

23 And man saide: note this is nowe bone of
my bones, and fleshe of my fleshe, she
shalbe called note woman, because she was
taken out of man.

25 And they were both naked the man
