Genesis 2:8-17

« Gen 1Gen 2Gen 3 »

8 And Yahweh God planted a ^agarden in Eden, toward the east; and there He placed the man whom He had formed. 9 And out of the ground Yahweh God caused to grow ^aevery tree that is ^bdesirable in appearance and good for food; ^cthe tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 Now a ^ariver went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four ¹rivers. 11 The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one that ¹went around the whole land of ^aHavilah, where there is gold. 12 Now the gold of that land is good; the bdellium and the onyx stone are there. 13 And the name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one that ¹went around the whole land of Cush. 14 And the name of the third river is ¹^aTigris; it is the one that went east of ²Asshur. And the fourth river is the ³^bEuphrates.
15 Then Yahweh God took the man and ¹set him in the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it. 16 And Yahweh God ^acommanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may surely eat; 17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat from it; for in the day that you eat from it ^ayou will surely die.”
