3. And God blessed (spoke good of) the seventh day, set it apart as His own, and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all His work which He had created and done. [Exod. 20:11.]
4. This is the history of the heavens and of the earth when they were created. In the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens–
5. When no plant of the field was yet in the earth and no herb of the field had yet sprung up, for the Lord God had not [yet] caused it to rain upon the earth and there was no man to till the ground,
6. But there went up a mist (fog, vapor) from the land and watered the whole surface of the ground–
7. Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath or spirit of life, and man became a living being. [I Cor. 15:45-49.]
8. And the Lord God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden [delight]; and there He put the man whom He had formed (framed, constituted).
9. And out of the ground the Lord God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight or to be desired–good (suitable, pleasant) for food; the tree of life also in the center of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of [the difference between] good and evil and blessing and calamity. [Rev. 2:7; 22:14, 19.]
10. Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four [river] heads.
11. The first is named Pishon; it is the one flowing around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
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.
