Genesis 2:8-15 ▼

8 And Jehovah God planteth a garden in Eden, at the east, and He setteth there the man whom He hath formed;

9 and Jehovah God causeth 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 knowledge of good and evil.

10 And a river is going out from Eden to water the garden, and from thence it is parted, and hath become four chief rivers;

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

12 and the gold of that land is good, there is the bdolach and the shoham stone;

13 and the name of the second river is Gibon, 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 Phrat.

15 And Jehovah God taketh the man, and causeth him to rest in the garden of Eden, to serve it, and to keep it.
