Latin (Vulgate)

And the gold of that land is the best. And there is found bdellium A semi-transparent oleo-gum-resin and the onyx stone. And the name of the second river is Gihon. It is the one which circles the entire land of Ethiopia. But the name of the third river is Tigris: it goes toward the Assyrians. But the fourth river is the Euphrates. Therefore the Lord God took the man and placed him in the paradise of pleasure, so that he might work it and guard it. And He commanded him, saying: "From every tree of paradise you shall eat; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat. For in whatever day you eat from it, you shall die the death." The Lord God also said: "It is not good for man to be alone; let us make for him a helper similar to himself." Therefore, the Lord God, having formed from the ground all the living creatures of the earth and all the birds of the sky, brought them to Adam so that he might see what he would call them. For everything that Adam called a living soul, that is its name. And Adam called all the living creatures and all the birds of the sky and all the beasts of the earth by their names. But for Adam there was not found a helper similar to himself. And so the Lord God sent a deep sleep upon Adam. And when he had fallen asleep, He took one of his ribs and filled up flesh for it. And the Lord God built the rib which He had taken from Adam into a woman, and He brought her to Adam. And Adam said: "This now..."

Aramaic (Targum)

And the gold of that land is good. There is bdellium and the beryl stone. And the name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one that encompasses the whole land of Cush. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel; it is the one that flows to the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. And the Lord God took Adam and settled him in the Garden of Eden to work it and to keep it. And the Lord God commanded Adam, saying: "From every tree of the garden you may surely eat. But from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat from it; for in the day that you eat from it, you shall surely die." And the Lord God said: "It is not right that Adam should be alone. I will make for him a support comparable to him." And the Lord God created from the earth every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called a living soul, that was its name. And Adam called names for all the cattle and the birds of the heavens and all the beasts of the field. But for Adam, he did not find a support comparable to him. And the Lord God cast a deep sleep upon Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs and filled up flesh in its place. And the Lord God built the rib which He had taken from Adam into a woman and brought her to Adam. And Adam said: "This time..."

Latin Translation of Targum

And the gold of that land is good. There is bdellium and the onyx stone. And the name of the second river is Gihon: it is the one which circles the whole land of Ethiopia. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: it is the one which goes to the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. And the Lord God took the man: and placed him in the garden of pleasure that he might work it: and guard it. And the Lord God commanded Adam, saying: "From every tree of the garden, eating you shall eat; but from the tree of the cultivation of fruits This is a specific interpretive phrasing in the Aramaic tradition, eating you shall know between good and evil: you shall not eat from it; for in the day you eat from it, you shall die the death." And the Lord God said: "It is not good for man to be alone; let us make for him a helper as if he is to him." And the Lord God created from the earth all the beasts of the field and all the birds of heaven: and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them; and everything that Adam called a living soul: that same is its name. And Adam called by names all the cattle and the birds of heaven: and every beast of the field: but for Adam there was not found a helper as if he is to him. And the Lord God sent a deep sleep into Adam: and he slept; and He took one of his ribs: and placed flesh for it. And the Lord God built the rib which He had taken from Adam into a woman: and brought her to Adam. And Adam said: "This now..."
