Chapter 4

1

And now, behold that these are the generations of the heavens^a and of the earth^b when they were created in the day that YHVH Elohim^c made the heavens and the earth,

2

And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew;

3

For YHVH Elohim created all things of which have been spoken, spiritually, before they were naturally upon The Face of the earth;

4

For the LORD Elohim had not caused the Great Waters^a to rain upon the face of the earth.

5

¶ And YHVH Elohim, had created all the children of man^a and not yet a man to till the ground^b;

6

For in the upper worlds created I them, and there was not yet flesh^a upon the earth^b, neither in the water^c, neither in the air^d;

7

But YHVH Elohim spake, and there went up a mist from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.

8

¶ And YHVH Elohim took people^a from the dust of the earth and breathed into their nostrils the Breath of Life^b;

9

And mankind^a became a living soul—the first flesh upon the earth, the first men and women^a also.

10

Nevertheless, all things were before created; and spiritually were they organized and perfected^a, according to my Word^b.

11

¶ And the YHVH Elohim^a planted a garden Eastward in Eden^b; and there YHVH^c put the people^d which had been formed.

12

And out of the Earth made YHVH Elohim to grow every tree, naturally, that is pleasant to the sight of the humans^a;

13

And mankind^a could behold it, and it became also a living soul^b;

14

For it was spiritual first in the age that YHVH created it; for it remaineth in the sphere in which Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh^a, created it:

15

Yea, even all things which were prepared for the use of mankind; and the people saw that it was good for food.

16

¶ And YHVH Elohim planted the Tree of Life^a also in the midst of the garden, and also the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil^b.

17

And YHVH Elohim caused a river^a to go out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted and became into four heads^b.

18

And YHVH Elohim called the name of the first Pison, and it compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where YHVH created much gold;

19

And the gold of that land was good, and there was bdellium^a and the onyx^b stone.

20

And the name of the second river was called Gihon, the same that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.

21

And the name of the third river was Hiddekel, that which goeth toward the east of Assyria.

22

And the fourth river was Euphrates.

23

¶ And YHVH Elohim^a took the humans^b from out of the world of man^c and put them into the Garden of Eden^d, to dress it and to keep it.

24

¶ And YHVH Elohim offered unto the people teshuvah^a, saying: Of every tree of the garden, thou mayest freely eat;

25

But of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil^a, thou shalt not eat of it.

26

Nevertheless, thou mayest choose for thyself, for it is given unto thee, but remember that I forbid it;

27

For in the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

28

¶ And The Creator^a said unto mine Yachad Yachid Echad^b, that it was not good that these people^c should be alone; wherefore, should a help meet be given for them.

29

And out of the earth, YHVH^a brought into the Garden every clean beast of the field and every clean fowl of the air and offered them that they should come unto Adam^b to see what they would call them.

30

And they were also living souls; for YHVH breathed into them the breath of life^a and offered that whatsoever Adam^b called every living creature, that should be the name thereof.

31

And mankind^a gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field;

32

But as for Adam^a, there was not found a helpmate for them.

33

¶ And YHVH Elohim saw that Adam flowed over with sadness, and they slept;

34

And YHVH rent the veil and found Ishshah^a;

35

And YHVH brought this one from the hillside, out of the world of humans^a; and bringing her from the lower to the upper world, closed up the veil.

36

And YHVH sealed up the flesh^a in the stead thereof; which is to say that YHVH Elohim^b brought forth an equal^c to be one with them from among the children of man^d;

37

And this one, which YHVH Elohim had taken out from among the children of man, and breathed life^a; and brought this woman into The Presence^b of Elohim^c, and she was given unto them, Adam^d; and they were given unto her.

38

And Adam said: This we know now is bone of our bones and flesh of our flesh; which is to say: That she is like us.

39

And Adam said: These shall be called Ishshah^a, because she too was taken out of world of man^b;

40

Therefore, shall one leave their father and their mother and shall cleave unto the other—and these shall be one flesh^a.

41

And they are both naked^a in their innocence, and they were not ashamed.
