⁶But springs welled up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.

⁷Then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.

⁸And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, where He placed the man He had formed.

⁹Out of the ground the LORD God gave growth to every tree that is pleasing to the eye and good for food. And in the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
