Genesis 2:10-14
1599 Geneva Bible
10 And out of Eden went a river to water the garden, and from thence it was divided, and became into four heads.
11 The name of one is Pishon: the same compasseth the whole land of [a]Havilah, where is gold.
12 And the gold of that land is good: there is [b]Bdellium, and the Onyx stone.
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same compasseth the whole land of [c]Cush.
14 And the name of the [third] river is [d]Hiddekel: this goeth toward the East side of [e]Ashshur: and the fourth river is [f]Parah)
