Genesis 2:7 in Context — Genesis 2
5 Y toda planta del campo antes que fuese en la tierra, y toda hierba del campo antes que naciese: porque aun no había Jehová Dios hecho llover sobre la tierra, ni había hombre para que labrase la tierra;
6 Mas subía de la tierra un vapor, que regaba toda la faz de la tierra.
7 Formó, pues, Jehová Dios al hombre del polvo de la tierra, y alentó en su nariz soplo de vida; y fué el hombre en alma viviente.
8 Y había Jehová Dios plantado un huerto en Edén al oriente, y puso allí al hombre que había formado.
9 Y había Jehová Dios hecho nacer de la tierra todo árbol delicioso á la vista, y bueno para comer: también el árbol de vida en medio del huerto, y el árbol de ciencia del bien y del mal.
