⁸ And Hashem Elohim planted a gan (garden) eastward in Eden; and there He put the adam whom He had formed.

⁹ And out of the adamah made Hashem Elohim to spring up (T.N. see verse 5) kol etz (every tree) that is pleasing to the sight, and tov for food; the Etz HaChayyim (Tree of Life) also in the midst of the gan (garden), and the Etz HaDa’as Tov v’Rah (see 3:22, i.e., representing moral autonomy; contrast Exodus 9:20-21 where the Dvar Hashem is the guide of life, even for Gentiles).

¹⁰ And a nahar (river) flowed out of Eden to water the gan (garden); and from there it divided, and became four headwaters.
