Genesis 2:4-7

⁴This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made them.

⁵Now no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth, nor had any plant of the field sprouted; for the LORD God had not yet sent rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground.

⁶But springs welled up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.

⁷Then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.
