8And YhwhH3068 GodH430 plantedH5193 a gardenH1588 eastwardH6924 in EdenH5731; and thereH8033 he putH7760 the manH120 whomH834 he had formedH3335. 9And outH4480 of the groundH127 madeH6779 YhwhH3068 GodH430 to growH6779 every treeH6086 that is pleasantH2530 to the sightH4758, and goodH2896 for foodH3978; the treeH6086 of lifeH2416 also in the midstH8432 of the gardenH1588, and the treeH6086 of knowledgeH1847 of goodH2896 and evilH7451. 10And a riverH5104 went outH3318 of EdenH5731 to waterH8248 the gardenH1588; and from thence it was partedH6504, and became into fourH702 headsH7218. 11The nameH8034 of the firstH259 is PisonH6376: thatH1931 is it which compassethH5437 the whole landH776 of HavilahH2341, whereH834 there is goldH2091; 12And the goldH2091 of thatH1931 landH776 is goodH2896: there is bdelliumH916 and the onyxH7718 stoneH68. 13And the nameH8034 of the secondH8145 riverH5104 is GihonH1521: the same is it that compassethH5437 the whole landH776 of CushH3568.1 14And the nameH8034 of the thirdH7992 riverH5104 is HiddekelH2313: that is it which goeth towardH1980 the eastH6926 of AssyriaH804.
