conplevitque Deus die septimo opus suum quod fecerat et requievit die septimo ab universo opere quod patrarat
And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made: and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done.
|

And every plant of the field before it spring up in the earth, and every herb of the ground before it grew: for the Lord God had not rained upon the earth; and there was not a man to till the earth.

sed fons ascendebat e terra inrigans universam superficiem terrae
But a spring rose out the earth, watering all the surface of the earth.

nomen uni Phison ipse est qui circuit omnem terram Evilat ubi nascitur aurum

praecepitque ei dicens ex omni ligno paradisi comede

de ligno autem scientiae boni et mali ne comedas in quocumque enim die comederis ex eo morte morieris

| 18 |
dixit quoque Dominus Deus non est bonum esse hominem solum faciamus ei adiutorium similem sui
And the Lord God said: It is not good for man to be alone: let us make him a help like unto himself.
|
| 19 |
formatis igitur Dominus Deus de humo cunctis animantibus terrae et universis volatilibus caeli adduxit ea ad Adam ut videret quid vocaret ea omne enim quod vocavit Adam animae viventis ipsum est nomen eius
And the Lord God having formed out of the ground all the beasts of the earth, and all the fowls of the air, brought them to Adam to see what he would call them: for whatsoever Adam called any living creature the same is its name.
|
| 20 |
appellavitque Adam nominibus suis cuncta animantia et universa volatilia caeli et omnes bestias terrae Adam vero non inveniebatur adiutor similis eius
And Adam called all the beasts by their names, and all the fowls of the air, and all the cattle of the field: but for Adam there was not found a helper like himself.

And Adam said: This now is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man.

quam ob rem relinquet homo patrem suum et matrem et adherebit uxori suae et erunt duo in carne una

|
| 25 |
erant autem uterque nudi Adam scilicet et uxor eius et non erubescebant
