And the fourth river [is] Euphrates. 2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. 2:16. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. 2:18. And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. 2:19 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.

And the day that you (pl) will eat from it, you (pl) will die in a death. 2:18 And Lord God said, “It is not good to cause the man to be alone, let Us create a helper for him according to same. 2:19 And thus God created from the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of Heaven and He brought them to Adam to see therefore what he would call them.
