10. Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four [river] heads.
11. The first is named Pishon; it is the one flowing around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
12. The gold of that land is of high quality; bdellium (pearl?) and onyx stone are there.
13. The second river is named Gihon; it is the one flowing around the whole land of Cush.
14. The third river is named Hiddekel [the Tigris]; it is the one flowing east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
15. And the Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to tend and guard and keep it.
16. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;
17. But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and blessing and calamity you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.
18. Now the Lord God said, It is not good (sufficient, satisfactory) that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper meet (suitable, adapted, complementary) for him.
19. And out of the ground the Lord God formed every [wild] beast and living creature of the field and every bird of the air and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them; and whatever Adam called every living creature, that was its name.
20. And Adam gave names to all the livestock and to the birds of the air and to every [wild] beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found a helper meet (suitable, adapted, complementary) for him.
21. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam; and while he slept, He took one of his ribs or a part of his side and closed up the [place with] flesh.
22. And the rib or part of his side which the Lord God had taken from the man He built up and made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.
