THE HOLY BIBLE Authorized King James

Genesis (Author Moses)

2:8And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

2:9And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

2:10And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

2:11The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;

2:12And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.

2:13And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.

2:14And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

2:15And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

2:16And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

2:17But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

3:23Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

3:24So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

4:16And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
