Gen 2:5 [Samaritan Pentateuch]

וכל שיח השדה טרם יהיה בארץ וכל עשב השדה טרם יצמח כי לא המטיר יהוה אלהים על הארץ ואדם אין לעבד את האדמה׃

Gen 2:5 [Masoretic Text]

וְכֹ֣ל שִׂ֣יחַ הַשָּׂדֶ֗ה טֶ֚רֶם יִֽהְיֶ֣ה בָאָ֔רֶץ וְכָל־עֵ֥שֶׂב הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה טֶ֣רֶם יִצְמָ֑ח כִּי֩ לֹ֨א הִמְטִ֜יר יְהוָ֤ה אֱלֹהִים֙ עַל־הָאָ֔רֶץ וְאָדָ֣ם אַ֔יִן לַֽעֲבֹ֖ד אֶת־הָֽאֲדָמָֽה׃

Gen 2:5 [Samaritan Targum]

וכל פענטוס ברה אדלה יהי בארעה וכל עסב חקלה אדלא יסק הלא לא המטיר יהוה אלה על ארעה ואנש לית למשמשה ית אדמתה:

And no shrub of the field was yet on the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for YHWH God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no man to till the ground.
