11. The name of the first stream is Pishon. It flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
12. That gold is good. Bdellium and onyx are also there.
13. The name of the second river is Gihon. It flows around the whole land of Cush.
14. The name of the third river is Tigris. It flows out of Assyria toward the east. The fourth river is the Euphrates.
15. The Lord God put the man in the garden of Eden to care for it and work it.
16. The Lord God commanded him, “You may eat the fruit from any tree in the garden.
17. But you must not eat the fruit from the tree which gives the knowledge of good and evil. If you ever eat fruit from that tree, you will die!”
18. Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is right for him.”
19. From the ground God formed every wild animal and every bird in the sky. He brought them to the man so the man could name them. Whatever the man called each living thing, that became its name.
20. The man gave names to all the tame animals, to the birds in the sky and to all the wild animals. But Adam did not find a helper that was right for him.
21. So the Lord God caused the man to sleep very deeply. While the man was asleep, God took one of the ribs from the man’s body. Then God closed the man’s skin at the place where he took the rib.
