← Genesis 2:4	Genesis 2:5 (KJV)	Genesis 2:6 →
These [are] the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,	And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and [there was] not a man to till the ground.	But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
