7 And the LORD God formed man + of the dust of the ground, and 'breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and 'man became a living soul. 8 T And the LORD God planted "a garden "eastward in Eden; and there Phe put the man whom he had formed. 9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for 11 Cor. 15.4 food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; 12 And the gold of that land is good: "there is bdellium and the onyx stone. 13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of † Ethiopia. 14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria.
