the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
10 And a river went out of Eden to wa-
ter the garden; and from thence it was
parted, and became into four heads.

11 The name of the first is t Pison: that is it which compasseth "the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;

12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.

13 And the name of the second river is Gihon the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.

14 And the name of the third river is 'Hiddekel that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof b h thou shalt surely die.

18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and 'brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

OW the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, "Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

3 c But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

4 "And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die :

5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 21 And the LORD God caused a deep 7 And the eyes of them both were opensleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and ed, and they knew that they were naked he took one of his ribs, and closed up the and they sewed fig leaves together, and flesh instead thereof; made themselves aprons.
