12. The gold of that land is of high quality; bdellium (pearl?) and onyx stone are there.

13. The second river is named Gihon; it is the one flowing around the whole land of Cush.

14. The third river is named Hiddekel [the Tigris]; it is the one flowing east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

15. And the Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to tend and guard and keep it.

16. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;

17. But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and blessing and calamity you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.

18. Now the Lord God said, It is not good (sufficient, satisfactory) that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper meet (suitable, adapted, complementary) for him.
