Genesis 2:10-17
English Standard Version Anglicised
10 A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers. 11 The name of the first is the Pishon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of (A)Havilah, where there is gold. 12 And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there. 13 The name of the second river is the Gihon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Cush. 14 And the name of the third river is the (B)Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 The Lord God took the man (C)and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (D)you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat[a] of it you (E)shall surely die.”
