10 Nowp a river flowed out from Eden that watered the garden, and from there it diverged and became four branches. 11 The name of the first is the Pishon. It went around all the land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 (The gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stones are there.) 13 And the name of the second is Gihon. It went around all the land of Cush. 14 And the name of the third is Tigris. It flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

15 And Yahweh God took the manq and set him in the garden of Eden to cultivate it and to keep it. 16 And Yahweh God commanded the man,r saying, “From every tree of the garden ⌊you may freely eat⌋,s 17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day ⌊that you eat⌋t from it ⌊you shall surely die⌋.”u

18 Thenv Yahweh God said, “it is not good that the manw is alone. I will make for him a helper ⌊as his counterpart⌋.”x 19 And out of the ground Yahweh God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky,y and he brought each to the manz to see what he would call it. And whatever the mana called that living creature was its name. 20 And the manb ⌊gave names⌋c to every domesticated animal and to the birds of heavend and to all the wild animals.e But for the man there was not found a helper ⌊as his counterpart⌋.f
