8Yahweh God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9Out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10A river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became four heads.
11The name of the first is Pishon: this is the one which flows through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12and the gold of that land is good. There is aromatic resin and the onyx stone.
13The name of the second river is Gihon: the same river that flows through the whole land of Cush.
14The name of the third river is Hiddekel: this is the one which flows in front of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.
