Genesis 3:22-24
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man has become like one of Us [the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit], to know [how to distinguish between] good and evil and blessing and calamity; and now, lest he put forth his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live [a]forever—
23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the Garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken.
24 So [God] drove out the man; and He placed at the east of the Garden of Eden the [b]cherubim and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep and guard the way to the tree of life.(A)
