Genesis 3:22-24

22Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of 1Us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take also from 2the tree of life, and eat, and live forever”--

23therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken.

24So 3He drove the man out; and at the 4east of the garden of Eden He stationed the 5cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to 6the tree of life.
