These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

GENESIS 2:4

And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

GENESIS 2:5

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

And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

GENESIS 2:21

And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

GENESIS 2:22

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.

IMPORTANT: All Scripture text has context and background. Scripture should never be read literally or in isolation. Always seek clarification from religious scholars and teachers. In general, Scripture adheres to four principles: (1) Literal Meaning - What the Scripture says (2) Historical Setting - The story events; how the Scripture was understood in its time (3) Grammar - The surrounding sentence and paragraph; textual context (4) Synthesis - A comparison with similar Scripture to give a better contextual understanding
