Genesis 2:8-15 ▼

8 And YHWH God plants a garden in Eden, at the east, and He sets there the man whom He has formed;

9 and YHWH God causes to sprout from the ground every tree desirable for appearance, and good for food, and the Tree of Life in the midst of the garden, and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

10 And a river is going out from Eden to water the garden, and from there it is parted, and has become four chief [rivers];

11 the name of the first [is] Pison, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of Havilah where the gold [is],

12 and the gold of that land [is] good; the bdellium and the shoham stone [are] there;

13 and the name of the second river [is] Gihon, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of Cush;

14 and the name of the third river [is] Hiddekel, it [is] that which is going east of Asshur; and the fourth river is the Euphrates.

15 And YHWH God takes the man, and causes him to rest in the Garden of Eden, to serve it and to keep it.
