8. And יהוה Elohim planted a garden in Ěḏen, to the east, and there He put the man whom He had formed.
9. And out of the ground יהוה Elohim made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, with the tree of life in the midst of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10. And a river went out of Ěḏen to water the garden, and from there it divided and became four riverheads.
11. The name of the first is Pishon, it is the one surrounding the entire land of Ḥawilah, where there is gold.
12. And the gold of that land is good. Bdellium is there, and the shoham stone.
13. And the name of the second river is Giḥon, it is the one surrounding the entire land of Kush.
14. And the name of the third river is Ḥiddeqel, it is the one which goes toward the east of Ashshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
15. And יהוה Elohim took the man and put him in the garden of Ěḏen to work it and to guard it.
16. And יהוה Elohim commanded the man, saying, “Eat of every tree of the garden,
17. but do not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for in the day that you eat of it you shall certainly die.”
18. And יהוה Elohim said, “It is not good for the man to be alone, I am going to make a helper for him, as his counterpart.”
19. And from the ground יהוה Elohim formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.
20. So the man gave names to all livestock, and to the birds of the heavens, and to every beast of the field. But for the man there was not found a helper for him, as his counterpart.
