Derpå plantede Gud Herren en Have i Eden ude mod Øst, og dem satte han Mennesket, som han havde dannet; Og Gud Herren lod af Agerjorden fremvokse alle Slags Træer, en Fryd at skue og gode til Føde, desuden Livets Træ, der stod midt i Haven. og Træet til Kundskab om godt og ondt. 10 Der udsprang en Flod i Eden til at vande Haven, og udenfor delte den sig i fire Hovedstrømme. 11 Den ene hedder Pisjon; den løber omkring Landet Havila, hvor der findes Guld 12 og Guldet i det Land er godt, Bdellium og Sjohamsten. 13 Den anden Flod hedder Gihon; den løber omkring Landet Kusj. 14 Den tredje Flod hedder Hiddekel; den løber østen om Assyrien. Den fjerde Flod er Frat. 15 Derpå tog Gud Herren Adam og satte ham i Edens Have til at dyrke og vogte den. 16 Men Gud Herren bød Adam: "Af alle Træer i Haven har du Lov at spise, 17 kun af Træet til Kundskab om godt og ondt må du ikke spise; den Dag du spiser deraf, skal du visselig dø!"

Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden;(A) and there he put the man he had formed. The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees(B) that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life(C) and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.(D)

10 A river(E) watering the garden flowed from Eden;(F) from there it was separated into four headwaters. 11 The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah,(G) where there is gold. 12 (The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin[a](H) and onyx are also there.) 13 The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush.[b] 14 The name of the third river is the Tigris;(I) it runs along the east side of Ashur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.(J)

15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden(K) to work it and take care of it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden;(L) 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,(M) for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”(N)
