Genesis 2:16 in Context — Genesis 2
14 Le nom du troisième est Hiddékel; c’est celui qui coule à l’orient de l’Assyrie. Le quatrième fleuve, c’est l’Euphrate.
15 L’Éternel Dieu prit l’homme, et le plaça dans le jardin d’Éden pour le cultiver et pour le garder.
16 L’Éternel Dieu donna cet ordre à l’homme: Tu pourras manger de tous les arbres du jardin;
17 mais tu ne mangeras pas de l’arbre de la connaissance du bien et du mal, car le jour où tu en mangeras, tu mourras.
18 L’Éternel Dieu dit: Il n’est pas bon que l’homme soit seul; je lui ferai une aide semblable à lui.
