6 But there went up a mist from ha'aretz, and watered the whole face of the adamah.
7 And Hashem Elohim formed the adam of the aphar min haadamah, and breathed into his nostrils the nishmat chayyim; and the adam became a nefesh chayyah.
8 And Hashem Elohim planted a gan (garden) eastward in Eden; and there He put the adam whom He had formed.
9 And out of the adamah made Hashem Elohim to spring up (T.N. see verse 5) kol etz (every tree) that is pleasing to the sight, and tov for food; the Etz HaChayyim (Tree of Life) also in the midst of the gan (garden), and the Etz HaDa'as Tov v'Rah (see 3:22, i.e., representing moral autonomy; contrast Exodus 9:20-21 where the Dvar Hashem is the guide of life, even for Gentiles).
10 And a nahar (river) flowed out of Eden to water the gan (garden); and from there it divided, and became four headwaters.
11 The shem of the first is Pishon; that is it which winds through the kol eretz Chavilah, where there is zahav;
12 And the zahav of that land is tov; there is [the gemstone] bedolach and the even (gemstone) hashoham [T.N.: this onyx gemstone is used in the construction of the Kohen Gadol's Bigdei HaKodesh].
