Genesis 2:7 in Context — Genesis 2
5 E antes que toda planta do campo existisse na terra, e antes que toda erva do campo nascesse; porque ainda não havia o SENHOR Deus feito chover sobre a terra, nem havia homem para que lavrasse a terra;
6 Mas subia da terra um vapor, que regava toda a face da terra.
7 Formou, pois, o SENHOR Deus ao homem do pó da terra, e assoprou em seu nariz sopro de vida; e foi o homem em alma vivente.
8 E havia o SENHOR Deus plantado um jardim em Éden ao oriente, e pôs ali ao homem que havia formado.
9 E havia o SENHOR Deus feito nascer da terra toda árvore agradável à vista, e boa para comer: também a árvore da vida em meio do jardim, e a árvore do conhecimento do bem e do mal.
