Genesis 2:8-12 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

8. Then the Lord God planted a garden in the East, in a place named Eden. He put the man he made in that garden.

9. Then the Lord God caused all the beautiful trees that were good for food to grow in the garden. In the middle of the garden, he put the tree of life and the tree that gives knowledge about good and evil.

10. A river flowed from Eden and watered the garden. The river then separated and became four smaller rivers.

11. The name of the first river was Pishon. This river flowed around the entire country of Havilah.

12. (There is gold in that country, and that gold is pure. A kind of expensive perfume and onyx are also found there.)
