⁹ The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees^(A) that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life^(B) and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.^(C)

¹⁶ And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden;^{(A) 17} but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,^(B) for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”^(C)

He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life^(U) and eat, and live forever.” ²³ So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden^(V) to work the ground^(W) from which he had been taken. ²⁴ After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side^[e] of the Garden of Eden^(X) cherubim^(Y) and a flaming sword^(Z) flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.^(AA)
