Genesis 2:7 Context
5And euery plant of the field, before it was in the earth, and euery herbe of the field, before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to raine vpon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. 6But there went vp a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. 7And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, & breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a liuing soule. 8¶ And the LORD God planted a garden Eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. 9And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow euery tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food: the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and euill.
