Genesis 2:3–9

TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
¶ These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,
And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
¶ And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree 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 knowledge of good and evil.

    22¶ And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.

    23And he said unto them, This is that which the Lord hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the Lord: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

    24And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.

    25And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the Lord: to day ye shall not find it in the field.

    26Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.

    27¶ And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.

    28And the Lord said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?

    29See, for that the Lord hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.

    7Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

    8For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

    9There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

    10For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

    15¶ In those days saw I in Judah some treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified against them in the day wherein they sold victuals.

    16There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.

    17Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day?

    18Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.

    19And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day.

    20So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Jerusalem once or twice.

    21Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath.

    22And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy.

1:1IN the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

1:2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

1:3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

1:4And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

1:5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

1:6¶ And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

1:7And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

1:8And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

1:9¶ And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

1:10And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

1:11And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

1:12And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

1:13And the evening and the morning were the third day.

1:14¶ And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

1:15And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

1:16And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

1:17And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

1:18And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

1:19And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

1:20And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

1:21And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

1:22And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

1:23And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

1:24¶ And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

1:25And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

1:26¶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

1:27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

1:28And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

1:29¶ And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

1:30And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

1:31And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

2:1THUS the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

2:2And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

2:3And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
