2:1 Thus the heavens and ha Eretz were finished, and all the host of them.
2:2
And on *Yom
Hashishi Elohim (אלהים) ended His melakhto (works,
מלאכתו) which he had made;
and he shabat (rest שׁבת) on the Yom
hashvi'i (seventh) from all His melakhto (works, מלאכתו) which he had
made.
2:3 And Elohim (אלהים) blessed Yom Hashvi'i, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all His work which Elohim (אלהים) created and made.
These [are] the generations of the heavens and of ha Eretz when they were created, in the day that YHWH(יהוה) Elohim (אלהים) made ha Eretz and the heavens,
2:5 And every plant of the field before it was in ha Eretz, and every herb of the field before it grew: for YHWH(יהוה) Elohim (אלהים) had not caused it to rain upon ha Eretz, and [there was] not a man to till the adamah (ground).
2:6 But there went up a mist from ha Eretz, and watered the whole face of the adamah (ground).
2:7
And YHWH (יהוה) Elohim (אלהים) formed man [of] the dust of the adamah (ground), and
breathed into His nostrils the nishmat chayim; and man became nefesh
chayah.
2:8 And YHWH(יהוה) Elohim (אלהים) planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
2:9 And out of the ground made YHWH(יהוה) Elohim (אלהים) to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the Etz ha Chayim also in the midst of the garden, and the Etz ha Da'at Tov vara.
2:10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
2:11 The name of the first [is] Pison: that [is] it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where [there is] gold;
2:12 And the gold of that land [is] Tov: there [is] bdellium and the onyx stone.
2:13 And the name of the second river [is] Gihon: the same [is] it that compasseth the whole land of Kush (Ethiopia).
2:14 And the name of the third river [is] Hiddekel (Tigris): that [is] it which goeth toward the east of Asshur. And the fourth river [is] Ferat (Euphrates).
2:15 And YHWH(יהוה) Elohim (אלהים) took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
2:16 And YHWH Elohim (אלהים) commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
2:17 But of the Etz ha Da'at Tov vara, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
2:18 And YHWH Elohim (אלהים) said:
[It is] not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
2:19 And out of the ground YHWH(יהוה) Elohim (אלהים) formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought [them] unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that [was] the name thereof.
And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an ezer (help meet) for him.
2:21 And YHWH(יהוה) Elohim (אלהים) tardemah to fall upon Adam, va yashen (sleep): and he took one of His tzalelot (side chambers), and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
2:22 And the tzela (side, rib?), which YHWH(יהוה) Elohim (אלהים) had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
2:23 And Adam said, This [is] now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman (ishah), because she was taken out of Man (Ish).
2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
2:25 Va yihyu shenei hem arumim ha adam ve ish to velo yitboshashu:
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Mark 10:1-12 1 Cor 6:15-20; Ephesians 5:21-32;
Beresheet 2:15-17 - Man was always meant to Work. Hashem intended for him to have something useful to do. Work only became burdensome after 3:17-19
Beresheet 2:21-24 - Monogamy for a lifetime was and is Hashem's original divine plan not polygamy. Adonay Yeshua reemphazied this enduring principle in Mattityahu 19:3-9 - It is one of the foundation principle of YYHWH Elohim - One Man One wife - Echad Oneness
Shabbat is one foundation principle later became listed in the 10 commandments.
