The Lord God planted an orchard in the east, in Eden; and there he placed the man he had formed.

Now a river flows from Eden to water the orchard, and from there it divides into four headstreams.

The Lord God took the man and placed him in the orchard in Eden to care for it and to maintain it.

So the Lord God expelled him from the orchard in Eden to cultivate the ground from which he had been taken.

When he drove the man out, he placed on the eastern side of the orchard in Eden angelic sentries who used the flame of a whirling sword to guard the way to the tree of life.

So Cain went out from the presence of the Lord and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
