Genesis 2:8-17

8And Jehovah Elohim planted a garden in Eden eastward, and there put Man whom he had formed.

9And out of the ground Jehovah Elohim made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; and the tree of life, in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

10And a river went out of Eden, to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became four main streams.

11The name of the one is Pison: that is it which surrounds the whole land of Havilah, where the gold is.

12And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and the onyx stone are there.

13And the name of the second river is Gihon: that is it which surrounds the whole land of Cush.

14And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which flows forward toward Asshur. And the fourth river, that is Euphrates.

15And Jehovah Elohim took Man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to till it and to guard it.

16And Jehovah Elohim commanded Man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou shalt freely eat;

17but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest of it thou shalt certainly die.
