9 The Lord God placed all kinds of beautiful trees and fruit trees in the garden. Two other trees were in the middle of the garden. One of the trees gave life—the other gave the power to know the difference between right and wrong.
10 From Eden a river flowed out to water the garden, then it divided into four rivers.
11 The first one is the River Pishon that flows through the land of Havilah,
12 where pure gold, rare perfumes, and precious stones are found.
13 The second is the River Gihon that winds through Ethiopia.
14 The River Tigris that flows east of Assyria is the third, and the fourth is the River Euphrates.
15 The Lord God put the man in the Garden of Eden to take care of it and to look after it.
