5And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.Select Genesis 2:5
6But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.Select Genesis 2:6
7And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. ¶Select Genesis 2:7

10And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became into four heads.Select Genesis 2:10
11The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasses the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;Select Genesis 2:11
12And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.Select Genesis 2:12
13And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasses the whole land of Ethiopia.Select Genesis 2:13
