Genesis 2:8-15

New International Version

⁸ Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden;^(A) and there he put the man he had formed. ⁹ The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees^(B) that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life^(C) and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.^(D)

¹⁰ A river^(E) watering the garden flowed from Eden;^(F) from there it was separated into four headwaters. ¹¹ The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah,^(G) where there is gold. ¹² (The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin^[a](H) and onyx are also there.) ¹³ The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush.^{[b] 14} The name of the third river is the Tigris;^(I) it runs along the east side of Ashur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.^(J)

¹⁵ The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden^(K) to work it and take care of it.
