Genesis 2 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
8 And our Lord God had planted Paradise of pleasure from the beginning: wherein he placed man whom he had formed.
9 And our Lord God brought forth of the ground all manner of trees, fair to behold, and pleasant to eat of: the tree of life also in the middle of Paradise: and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
10 And a river issued out of the place of pleasure to water Paradise, which from thence is divided into four heads.
11 The name of one is Phison: that is it which compasseth all the land of Hevilath, where gold groweth.
12 And the gold of that land is very good: there is found bdellium, and the stone onyx.
13 And the name of the second river is Gehon: that is it which compasseth all the land of Ethiopia.
14 And the name of the third river is Tygris: that same passeth along by the Assyrians. And the fourth river, the same is Euphrates.
15 Our Lord God therefore took man, & put him in the Paradise of pleasure, to work, & keep it.
16 And he commanded him saying: Of every tree of Paradise eat thou:
17 But of the tree of knowledge of good & evil eat thou not. For in what day soever thou shalt eat of it, thou shalt die the death.
