9 The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees(A) that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life(B) and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.(C)
10 A river(D) watering the garden flowed from Eden;(E) from there it was separated into four headwaters. 11 The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah,(F) where there is gold.
