Genesis 2:6-11 New Century Version (NCV)

6. but a mist would rise up from the earth and water all the ground.

7. Then the Lord God took dust from the ground and formed a man from it. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nose, and the man became a living person.

8. Then the Lord God planted a garden in the east, in a place called Eden, and put the man he had formed into it.

9. The Lord God caused every beautiful tree and every tree that was good for food to grow out of the ground. In the middle of the garden, God put the tree that gives life and also the tree that gives the knowledge of good and evil.

10. A river flowed through Eden and watered the garden. From there the river branched out to become four rivers.

11. The first river, named Pishon, flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
