Genesis 2:17 in Context — Genesis 2
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.
19 L’Éternel Dieu forma de la terre tous les animaux des champs et tous les oiseaux du ciel, et il les fit venir vers l’homme, pour voir comment il les appellerait, et afin que tout être vivant portât le nom que lui donnerait l’homme.
