Genesis 2:6-14 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

6. but a mist went up from the earth and watered the entire surface of the ground.

7. And יהוה Elohim formed the man out of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils breath of life. And the man became a living being.

8. And יהוה Elohim planted a garden in Ěḏen, to the east, and there He put the man whom He had formed.

9. And out of the ground יהוה Elohim made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, with the tree of life in the midst of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

10. And a river went out of Ěḏen to water the garden, and from there it divided and became four riverheads.

11. The name of the first is Pishon, it is the one surrounding the entire land of Ḥawilah, where there is gold.

12. And the gold of that land is good. Bdellium is there, and the shoham stone.

13. And the name of the second river is Giḥon, it is the one surrounding the entire land of Kush.

14. And the name of the third river is Ḥiddeqel, it is the one which goes toward the east of Ashshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
