Genesis 2:11 Context
9And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow euery tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food: the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and euill. 10And a riuer went out of Eden to water the garden, and from thence it was parted, and became into foure heads. 11The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Hauilah, where there is gold. 12And the gold of that land is good: There is Bdellium and the Onix stone. 13And the name of the second riuer is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
