Genesis 2:4 in context

The verses around it, from Genesis 2.

1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.

2 And by the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on that day He rested from all His work.

3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on that day He rested from all the work of creation that He had accomplished.

4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made them.

5 Now no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth, nor had any plant of the field sprouted; for the LORD God had not yet sent rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground.

6 But springs welled up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.

7 Then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.

8 And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, where He placed the man He had formed.
