Illustrations to Pentateuch - Genesis - Placement of Adam in the Garden
2:8 God planted a garden in Eden to the east. There He placed the man that He had formed. 2:9 God made grow out of the ground every tree that is pleasant to look at and good to eat, the Tree of Life in the middle of the garden, and the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil. 2:10 A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden. From there it divided and became four major rivers. 2:11 The name of the first is Pishon. It surrounds the entire land of Havilah where gold is found. 2:12 The gold of that land is good. Also found there are pearls and precious stones. 2:13 The name of the second river is Gihon. It surrounds the land of Cush. 2:14 The name of the third river is the Tigris which flows to the east of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates. 2:15 God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to work it and watch it. 2:16 God gave the man a commandment, saying, 'You may definitely eat from every tree of the garden. 2:17 But from the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil, do not eat, for on the day you eat from it, you will definitely die.'

Illustrations to Pentateuch - Genesis - Another Story of Adam's Creation
2:4 These are the chronicles of heaven and earth when they were created, on the day God completed earth and heaven. 2:5 All the wild shrubs did not yet exist on the earth, and all the wild plants had not yet sprouted. This was because God had not brought rain on the earth, and there was no man to work the ground. 2:6 A mist rose up from the earth, and it watered the entire surface of the ground. 2:7 God formed man out of dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils a breath of life. Man [thus] became a living creature.
