d: and
to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to
everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have
given every green herb for food:" and it was so.

And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very
good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

And the heaven and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
And on the seventh day God finished {18} his work which he had made;
and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it: because that in it
he rested from all his work which he had created and made.

shall not eat of any tree of the garden?'"

together, and made themselves aprons. And they heard the voice of the
Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and the man and
his wife {20} hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst
the trees of the garden. And the Lord God called to the man, and said
unto him, "Where art thou?"

And he said, "I heard thy voice in the garden, and 1 was afraid,
because I was naked; and I hid myself."

And he said, "Who told thee that thou wast naked?
