Genesis 2:6-10 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

6. But a fountain ascended from the earth, irrigating the entire surface of the land.

7. And then the Lord God formed man from the clay of the earth, and he breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul.

8. Now the Lord God had planted a Paradise of enjoyment from the beginning. In it, he placed the man whom he had formed.

9. And from the soil the Lord God produced every tree that was beautiful to behold and pleasant to eat. And even the tree of life was in the midst of Paradise, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

10. And a river went forth from the place of enjoyment so as to irrigate Paradise, which is divided from there into four heads.
