Genesis 2:6 in Context — Genesis 2

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.

6 Mais une vapeur s’éleva de la terre, et arrosa toute la surface du sol.

7 L’Éternel Dieu forma l’homme de la poussière de la terre, il souffla dans ses narines un souffle de vie et l’homme devint un être vivant.

8 Puis l’Éternel Dieu planta un jardin en Éden, du côté de l’orient, et il y mit l’homme qu’il avait formé.
