Genesis 2:3 in Context — Genesis 2

1 Ainsi furent achevés les cieux et la terre, et toute leur armée.

2 Dieu acheva au septième jour son œuvre, qu’il avait faite: et il se reposa au septième jour de toute son œuvre, qu’il avait faite.

3 Dieu bénit le septième jour, et il le sanctifia, parce qu’en ce jour il se reposa de toute son œuvre qu’il avait créée en la faisant.

4 Voici les origines des cieux et de la terre, quand ils furent créés. Lorsque l’Éternel Dieu fit une terre et des cieux,

5 aucun arbuste des champs n’était encore sur la terre, et aucune herbe des champs ne germait encore: car l’Éternel Dieu n’avait pas fait pleuvoir sur la terre, et il n’y avait point d’homme pour cultiver le sol.
