Genesis 2:6-8
Amplified Bible
6 but a [a]mist (fog, dew, vapor) used to rise from the land and water the entire surface of the ground— 7 then the Lord God [b]formed [that is, created the body of] man from the [c]dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being [an individual complete in body and spirit].(A) 8 And the Lord God [d]planted a garden (oasis) in the east, in Eden (delight, land of happiness); and He put the man whom He had formed (created) there.
