Life in God’s Garden
8 The Lord God planted aa garden beastward in cEden, and there He put the man whom He had formed.
9 And out of the ground the Lord God made aevery tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. bThe tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and cevil.
10 Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it parted and became four riverheads.
11 The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one which skirts athe whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
12 And the gold of that land is good. aBdellium and the onyx stone are there.
13 The name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one which goes around the whole land of Cush.
