8. The Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and placed there the man whom he had formed.
9. Out of the ground the Lord God made grow every tree that was delightful to look at and good for food, with the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10. A river rises in Eden to water the garden; beyond there it divides and becomes four branches.
11. The name of the first is the Pishon; it is the one that winds through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
12. The gold of that land is good; bdellium and lapis lazuli are also there.
13. The name of the second river is the Gihon; it is the one that winds all through the land of Cush.
14. The name of the third river is the Tigris; it is the one that flows east of Asshur. The fourth river is the Euphrates.
15. The Lord God then took the man and settled him in the garden of Eden, to cultivate and care for it.
16. The Lord God gave the man this order: You are free to eat from any of the trees of the garden
