耶和华神在东方的伊甸立了一个园子，把所造的人安置在那里。
And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
有河从伊甸流出来，滋润那园子，从那里分为四道。
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
第一道名叫比逊，就是环绕哈腓拉全地的。在那里有金子，
The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
第二道河名叫基训，就是环绕古实全地的。
And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
第三道河名叫西底结，流在亚述的东边。第四道河就是幼发拉底河。
And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
耶和华神将那人安置在伊甸园，使他修理看守。
And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
耶和华神吩咐他说，园中各样树上的果子，你可以随意吃。
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
耶和华神说，那人独居不好，我要为他造一个配偶帮助他。
And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
耶和华神用土所造成的野地各样走兽和空中各样飞鸟都带到那人面前，看他叫什么。那人怎样叫各样的活物，那就饲它的名字。
And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
那人便给一切牲畜和空中飞鸟，野地走兽都起了名。只是那人没有遇见配偶帮助他。
And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
