Genesis 2:8-17

8And Jehovah Elohim plantedH5193 a gardenH1588 in EdenH5731 eastward, and there putH7760 ManH120 whom he had formedH3335.

9And out of the groundH127 Jehovah Elohim made every treeH6086 growH6779 that is pleasant to the sightH4758, and goodH2896 for foodH3978; and the treeH6086 of lifeH2416, in the midstH8432 of the gardenH1588, and the treeH6086 of the knowledgeH1847 of goodH2896 and evilH7451.

10And a riverH5104 wentH3318 out of EdenH5731, to waterH8248 the gardenH1588; and from thence it wasH1961 parted, and becameH1961 fourH702 main streams.

11The nameH8034 of the oneH259 is Pison: that is it which surroundsH5437 the whole landH776 of HavilahH2341, whereH834 the goldH2091 is.

12And the goldH2091 of that landH776 is goodH2896; bdelliumH916 and the onyxH7718 stoneH68 are there.

13And the nameH8034 of the secondH8145 riverH5104 is GihonH1521: that is it which surroundsH5437 the whole landH776 of CushH3568.

14And the nameH8034 of the thirdH7992 riverH5104 is Hiddekel: that is it which flows forward toward AsshurH804. And the fourthH7243 riverH5104, that is EuphratesH6578.

15And Jehovah Elohim tookH3947 ManH120, and put him into the gardenH1588 of EdenH5731, to till it and to guardH8104 it.

16And Jehovah Elohim commandedH6680 ManH120, sayingH559, Of every treeH6086 of the gardenH1588 thou shalt freely eatH398;

17but of the treeH6086 of the knowledgeH1847 of goodH2896 and evilH7451, thou shalt not eatH398 of it; for in the dayH3117 that thou eatest of it thou shalt certainly dieH4191.
