8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. |
9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. |
10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. |
11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; |
12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. |
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. |
14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates. |
15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. |
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: |
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. |
