1And so the heavens and the earth were completed, with all their adornment. 2And on the seventh day, God fulfilled his work, which he had made. And on the seventh day he rested from all his work, which he had accomplished. 3And he blessed the seventh day and sanctified it.

For the Lord God had not brought rain upon the earth, and there was no man to work the land. 6But a fountain ascended from the earth, irrigating the entire surface of the land.
