    The Seventh Day      
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their multitude.    
2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And on the seventh day God finished the work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work that he had done.    
3 And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all the work that he had done in creation.    
  Adam and Eve        
4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created.

When the Lord God made the earth and the heavens—

 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens. These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created.

Another Account of the Creation

In the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,

    
        Adam and Eve  
5 and no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth and no plant of the field had yet sprang up, for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no man to work the ground, And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was  not a man to till the ground. when no plant of the field was yet in the earth and no herb of the field had yet sprung up—for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no one to till the ground;    
6 but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground— But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. but a stream would rise from the earth, and water the whole face of the ground—    
7 the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the mad became a living being.    
    The Garden of Eden      
8 Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. And Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east; and there he put the man whom he had formed.    
9 And the Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Out of the ground the Lord God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.    
10 A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. A river flows out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it divides and becomes four branches.    
11 The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold. The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one that flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;    
12 (The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx are also there.) And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. and the fold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there.    
13 The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush. And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. The name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one that flows around the whole land of Cush.    
14 The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Asshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates. The name of the third river is Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.    
    Man to Care for the Garden      
15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it.    
16 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: And the Lord God commanded the man, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;    
17 but you must not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die.” But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not ear, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die.”    
18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper as his partner.”    
    Adam names Living Creatures      
19 Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all of the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. So out of the ground the Lord God formed every animal of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.    
20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field.

But for Adam no suitable helper was found.

 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. The man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the air, and to every animal of the field; but for the man there was not found a helper as his partner.    
    The Creation of Woman      
21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the place with flesh. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then he took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh.    
22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man.    
23 The man said,

“This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman’, for she was taken out of man.

 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Then the man said,

“This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one shall be called Woman,” for out of Man this one was taken.”

    
    The First Marriage      
24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and clings to his wife, and they come one flesh.    
25 The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. And the man and his wife were both naked, and were not ashamed.

I would never ask Sean and Cate to testify in court; however, they may want to when we get to the divorce trial. For others reading this who are a little older, know that there has already been precedent set: Teens can sue the CAS .
