Genesis 2:8-11

8 And the Lord God planted a ^agarden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. 9 And out of the ground the Lord God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. ^bThe tree of life was in the midst of the garden, ^cand the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

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 ^dHavilah, where there is gold.
