Genesis 2:8-17

8The Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he placed the man he had formed.

9The Lord God caused to grow out of the ground every tree pleasing in appearance and good for food, including the tree of life in the middle of the garden, as well as the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

10A river went out from Eden to water the garden. From there it divided and became the source of four rivers.

11The name of the first is Pishon, which flows through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold.

12Gold from that land is pure; bdellium and onyx are also there.

13The name of the second river is Gihon, which flows through the entire land of Cush.

14The name of the third river is Tigris, which runs east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

15The Lord God took the man and placed him in the garden of Eden to work it and watch over it.

16And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree of the garden,

17but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for on the day you eat from it, you will certainly die.”
