The Garden of Eden
- When the Lord God made the universe, there were no plants because he had not sent rain and there was no one to cultivate the land.
- Water would come up from beneath the surface to water the ground.
- The Lord God formed a man from soil and breathed life into his nostrils, and the man began to live.
- The Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the East.
- All kinds of beautiful trees that produce good fruit grew there.
- In the middle of the garden was the tree that gives life and the tree that gives knowledge of what is good and what is bad.
- A stream flowed in Eden and watered the garden, dividing into four rivers beyond Eden.
- The first river is the Pishon, flowing around Havilah, where pure gold, rare perfume, and precious stones are found.
- The second river is the Gihon, flowing around Cush.
- The third river is the Tigris, flowing east of Assyria.
- The fourth river is the Euphrates.
- The Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and guard it.
- The man was permitted to eat fruit from any tree except the tree that gives knowledge of what is good and bad; eating from that tree would result in death.
- The Lord God decided to make a suitable companion to help the man, as it was not good for him to live alone.

- The Lord God made the man fall into a deep sleep, took out one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh.
- He formed a woman out of the rib and brought her to the man.
- The man said the woman was bone from his bone and flesh from his flesh, and named her "Woman" because she was taken out of man.
