1599 Geneva Bible
15 ¶ Then the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden, that he might [a]dress it, and keep it.
16 And the Lord God [b]commanded the man, saying, [c]Thou shalt eat freely of every tree of the garden,
17 But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for [d]in the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt die the [e]death.
