Genesis 2
Bible in Basic English
1And the heaven and the earth and all things in them were complete.
2And on the seventh day God came to the end of all his work; and on the seventh day he took his rest from all the work which he had done.
3And God gave his blessing to the seventh day and made it holy: because on that day he took his rest from all the work which he had made and done.
4These are the generations of the heaven and the earth when they were made.
5In the day when the Lord God made earth and heaven there were no plants of the field on the earth, and no grass had come up: for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no man to do work on the land.
6But a mist went up from the earth, watering all the face of the land.
7And the Lord God made man from the dust of the earth, breathing into him the breath of life: and man became a living soul.
8And the Lord God made a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had made.
9And out of the earth the Lord made every tree to come, delighting the eye and good for food; and in the middle of the garden, the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10And a river went out of Eden giving water to the garden; and from there it was parted and became four streams.
11The name of the first is Pishon, which goes round about all the land of Havilah where there is gold.
12And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
