And the name of the third river is Hiddekel [Tigris]. That is it which goes in front of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

And LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

And LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou may freely eat,

but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shall not eat of it. For in the day that thou eat of it thou shall surely die.

And the man said, The woman whom thou gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.

And LORD God said to the woman, What is this thou have done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I ate.

And this is how thou shall make it: The length of the ark three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.

Thou shall make a light for the ark, and thou shall finish it to a cubit upward. And thou shall set the door of the ark in the side of it, with lower, second, and third stories thou shall make it.
