Genesis 2:8-15 ▼

8 And the Lord God planted a garden Eastward in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had made.

9 (For out of the grounde made the Lorde God to growe euery tree pleasant to the sight, and good for meate: the tree of life also in the middes of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and of euill.

10 And out of Eden went a riuer to water the garden, and from thence it was deuided, and became into foure heads.

11 The name of one is Pishon: the same compasseth the whole land of Hauilah, where is golde.

12 And the golde of that land is good: there is Bdelium, and the Onix stone.

13 And the name of the seconde riuer is Gihon: the same compasseth the whole lande of Cush.

14 The name also of the third riuer is Hiddekel: this goeth toward the Eastside of Asshur: and the fourth riuer is Perath)

15 Then the Lord God tooke the man, and put him into the garden of Eden, that he might dresse it and keepe it.
