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. ⁹ And out of the ground the Lord God made ^(D)every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. ^(E)The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and ^(F)evil.

¹⁰ Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it parted and became four riverheads.

¹⁵ Then the Lord God took ^[a]the man and put him in the garden of Eden to ^[b]tend and keep it.
