Life in God’s Garden

⁸ The Lord God planted ^(A)a garden ^(B)eastward in ^(C)Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed.

²⁴ So ^(A)He drove out the man; and He placed ^(B)cherubim ^(C)at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of ^(D)life.

¹⁰ And Lot lifted his eyes and saw all ^(A)the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere (before the Lord ^(B)destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah) ^(C)like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt as you go toward ^(D)Zoar.

The Family of Cain

¹⁶ Then Cain ^(A)went out from the ^(B)presence of the Lord and dwelt in the land of ^[a]Nod on the east of Eden.

^12 (A)Have the gods of the nations delivered those whom my fathers have destroyed, Gozan and Haran and Rezeph, and the people of ^(B)Eden who were in Telassar?

¹⁶ I made the nations ^(A)shake at the sound of its fall, when I ^(B)cast it down to ^[a]hell together with those who descend into the Pit; and ^(C)all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, ^(D)were comforted in the depths of the earth.
