15)
Then the LORD God took the man and put
him in the garden of
Eden to tend and keep it.
16) And the LORD God
commanded the man, saying,
“Of every tree of the garden you may
freely eat;
17) but of the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil you shall not
eat, for in the day that you eat of it
you shall surely die.”
18)
And the LORD God said, “It is not
good that man should be alone;
I will make him a helper comparable to
him.”
19) Out of the ground the LORD
God formed every beast of the field and
every bird of the air, and brought
them to Adam to see what he would
call them. And whatever Adam called each
living creature, that was its
name.
20) So Adam gave names to all
cattle, to the birds of the air, and to
every
beast of the field. But for Adam there
was not found a helper
comparable to him.
