 And the gold of that land is good: There is Bdellium and the Onix ſtone.

And the name of the ſecond riuer is Gihon: the ſame is it that compaſſeth the whole land of † Ethiopia.

And the name of the third riuer is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth ǁ toward the Eaſt of Aſſyria: and the fourth riuer is Euphrates.

And the LORD God tooke ǁ the man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to dreſſe it, and to keepe it.

And the LORD God commanded the man, ſaying, Of euery tree of the garden thou mayeſt † freely eate.

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and euill, thou ſhalt not eate of it: for in the day that thou eateſt thereof, thou ſhalt † ſurely die.

¶ And the LORD God ſaid, It is not good that the man ſhoud be alone: I will make him * an helpe † meet for him.

And out of ye ground the LORD God formed euery beaſt of the field, and euery foule of the aire, and brought them vnto ǁ Adam, to ſee what he would call them: and whatſoeuer Adam called euery liuing creature, that was the name thereof.

And Adam † gaue names to all cattell, and to the foule of the aire, and to euery beaſt of the fielde: but for Adam there was not found an helpe meete for him.

And the LORD God cauſed a deepe ſleepe to fall vpon Adam, and hee ſlept; and he tooke one of his ribs, and cloſed vp the fleſh in ſtead thereof.

And the rib which the LORD God had taken from man, † made hee a woman, ⁊ brought her vnto the man.

And Adam ſaid, This is now bone of my bones, and fleſh of my fleſh: ſhe ſhalbe called woman, becauſe ſhee was * taken out of man.

* Therefore ſhall a man leaue his father and his mother, and ſhall cleaue vnto his wife: and they ſhalbe one fleſh.

And they were both naked, the man ⁊ his wife, and were not aſhamed.

Ow the ſerpent was more ſubtill then any beaſt of the field, which the LORD God had made, and he ſaid vnto the woman, † Yea, hath God ſaid, Ye ſhall not eat of euery tree of the garden?

And the woman ſaid vnto the ſerpent, Wee may eate of the fruite of the trees of the garden:

But of the fruit of the tree, which is in the midſt of the garden, God hath ſaid, Ye ſhal not eate of it, neither ſhall ye touch it, leſt ye die.

And the Serpent ſaid vnto the woman, Ye ſhall not * ſurely die.

For God doeth know, that in the day ye eate thereof, then your eyes ſhalbee opened: and yee ſhall bee as Gods, knowing good and euill.

And when the woman ſaw, that the tree was good for food, and that it was † pleaſant to the eyes, and a tree to be deſired to make one wiſe, ſhe tooke of the fruit thereof, * and did eate, and gaue alſo vnto her huſband with her, and hee did eate.

And the eyes of them both were opened, ⁊ they knew that they were naked, and they ſewed figge leaues together, and made themſelues ǁ aprons.

And they heard the voyce of the LORD God, walking in the garden in the † coole of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themſelues from the preſence of the LORD God, amongſt the trees of the garden.

And the LORD God called vnto Adam, and ſaid vnto him, Where art thou?

And he ſaid, I heard thy voice in the garden: and I was afraid, becauſe I was naked, and I hid my ſelfe.

And he ſaid, Who told thee, that thou waſt naked? Haſt thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee, that thou ſhouldeſt not eate?

And the man ſaid, The woman whom thou gaueſt to be with mee, ſhee gaue me of the tree, and I did eate.

And the LORD God ſaid vnto the woman, What is this that thou haſt done? And the woman ſaid, The Serpent beguiled me, and I did eate.

And the LORD God ſaid vnto the Serpent, Becauſe thou haſt done this, thou art curſed aboue all cattel, and aboue euery beaſt of the field: vpon thy belly ſhalt thou goe, and duſt ſhalt thou
