7 The Lord God took some soil from the ground and made a man. God breathed life into the man, and the man started breathing.
8 The Lord made a garden in a place called Eden, which was in the east, and he put the man there.
9 The Lord God filled the garden with all kinds of beautiful trees and fruit trees. Two other trees were in the middle of the garden. One of these gave life—the other gave the wisdom 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 Pishon River that flows through the land of Havilah,
12 where pure gold, rare perfumes, and precious stones are found.
13 The second is the Gihon River that winds through Ethiopia.
