And the fourth river _is_ Euphrates. ^14 [15↗](Genesis%202%20FSI.md#^gen2-15) And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. ^15 [16↗](Genesis%202%20FSI.md#^gen2-16) And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: ^16 [17↗](Genesis%202%20FSI.md#^gen2-17) But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. ^17 [18↗](Genesis%202%20FSI.md#^gen2-18) ¶ And the LORD God said, _It_ _is_ not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. ^18 19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought _them_ unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that _was_ the name thereof. ^19 20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. ^20 [21↗](Genesis%202%20FSI.md#^gen2-21) And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; ^21 22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. ^22 [23↗](Genesis%202%20FSI.md#^gen2-23) And Adam said, This _is_ now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. ^23 [24↗](Genesis%202%20FSI.md#^gen2-24) Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. ^24 [25↗](Genesis%202%20FSI.md#^gen2-25) And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. ^25 Summary Notes: [*The Glorious Garden of Eden*](Genesis%202%20FSI.md#^gen2-summary) Tags: #Old_Testament #Genesis #Salvation_picture
