Genesis 2:8-11

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

9The Lord God made all sorts of trees grow up from the ground—trees that were beautiful and that produced delicious fruit. In the middle of the garden he placed the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

10A river flowed from the land of Eden, watering the garden and then dividing into four branches.

11The first branch, called the Pishon, flowed around the entire land of Havilah, where gold is found.
