Then the Lord God
formed the man
of dust from the ground
and breathed into his nostrils
the breath of life,
(repeat)

and the man became a living creature.
And the Lord God planted a garden
in Eden, in the east,
and there He put the man
whom He had formed.

And out of the ground the Lord God
made to spring up every tree
that is pleasant to the sight
and good for food. 
The tree of life was in the
midst of the garden, 
and the tree of the knowledge
of good and evil.
