Genesis 3:22-24
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the Garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken.
24 So [God] drove out the man; and He placed at the east of the Garden of Eden the [b]cherubim and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep and guard the way to the tree of life.(A)
