Genesis 2:8-17
8And the LORDH3068 GodH430 plantedH5193 a gardenH1588 in EdenH5731, in the eastH6924, whereH8033 He placedH7760 the manH120 He had formedH3335. 9OutH4480 of the groundH127 the LORDH3068 GodH430 gave growthH6779 to everyH3605 treeH6086 that is pleasingH2530 to the eyeH4758 and goodH2896 for foodH3978. And in the middleH8432 of the gardenH1588 were the treeH6086 of lifeH2416 and the treeH6086 of the knowledgeH1847 of goodH2896 and evilH7451.
10Now a riverH5104 flowed outH3318 of EdenH5731 to waterH8248 the gardenH1588, and from thereH8033 it branched intoH6504H1961 fourH702 headwatersH7218:
11The nameH8034 of the firstH259 river is the PishonH6376; itH1931 winds throughH5437 the wholeH3605 landH776 of HavilahH2341, whereH834 thereH8033 is goldH2091. 12And the goldH2091 of thatH1931 landH776 is pureH2896, and bdelliumH916 and onyxH68H7718 are found thereH8033. 13The nameH8034 of the secondH8145 riverH5104 is the GihonH1521; itH1931 winds throughH5437 the wholeH3605 landH776 of CushH3568. 14The nameH8034 of the thirdH7992 riverH5104 is the TigrisH2313; itH1931 runs alongH1980 the east sideH6926 of AssyriaH804. And the fourthH7243 riverH5104 is the EuphratesH6578.
15Then the LORDH3068 GodH430 tookH3947 the manH120 and placed himH5117 in the GardenH1588 of EdenH5731 to cultivateH5647 and keep itH8104.
16And the LORDH3068 GodH430H5921 commandedH6680 him, “You may eat freelyH398 from everyH3605 treeH6086 of the gardenH1588, 17but you must notH3808 eatH398 fromH4480 the treeH6086 of the knowledgeH1847 of goodH2896 and evilH7451; forH3588 in the dayH3117 that you eatH398 of itH4480, you will surely dieH4191.”
