Genesis 2:9-12
Living Bible
9 The Lord God planted all sorts of beautiful trees there in the garden, trees producing the choicest of fruit. At the center of the garden he placed the Tree of Life, and also the Tree of Conscience, giving knowledge of Good and Bad. 10 A river from the land of Eden flowed through the garden to water it; afterwards the river divided into four branches. 11-12 One of these was named the Pishon; it winds across the entire length of the land of Havilah,[a] where nuggets of pure gold are found, also beautiful bdellium and even lapis lazuli.

New International Version
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.
