Genesis 2:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 ¶ These are the [a]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,
5 And every [b]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 [c]rain upon the earth, neither was there a man to till the ground,
6 But a mist went up from the earth, and watered all the earth.

New International Version
Adam and Eve
4 This is the account(A) of the heavens and the earth when they were created,(B) when the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.
5 Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth[a] and no plant had yet sprung up,(C) for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth(D) and there was no one to work the ground, 6 but streams[b] came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
