Genesis 2:5-10
New International Version
5 Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth[a] and no plant had yet sprung up,(A) for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth(B) and there was no one to work the ground, 6 but streams[b] came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground. 7 Then the Lord God formed(C) a man[c](D) from the dust(E) of the ground(F) and breathed into his nostrils the breath(G) of life,(H) and the man became a living being.(I)
8 Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden;(J) and there he put the man he had formed. 9 The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees(K) that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life(L) and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.(M)
10 A river(N) watering the garden flowed from Eden;(O) from there it was separated into four headwaters.
