Genesis 2:4-7

Common English Bible CEB

4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created.

5 On the day the LORD God made earth and sky—before any wild plants appeared on the earth, and before any field crops grew, because the LORD God hadn't yet sent rain on the earth and there was still no human being to farm the fertile land,

6 though a stream rose from the earth and watered all of the fertile land—

7 the LORD God formed the human from the topsoil of the fertile land and blew life's breath into his nostrils. The human came to life.

New Revised Standard NRS

4 These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created. In the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,

5 when no plant of the field was yet in the earth and no herb of the field had yet sprung up—for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no one to till the ground;

6 but a stream would rise from the earth, and water the whole face of the ground—

7 then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being.
