Genesis 2:11 in Context — Genesis 2

9 Y había Jehová Dios hecho nacer de la tierra todo árbol delicioso á la vista, y bueno para comer: también el árbol de vida en medio del huerto, y el árbol de ciencia del bien y del mal.

10 Y salía de Edén un río para regar el huerto, y de allí se repartía en cuatro ramales.

11 El nombre del uno era Pisón: éste es el que cerca toda la tierra de Havilah, donde hay oro:

12 Y el oro de aquella tierra es bueno: hay allí [también] bdelio y piedra cornerina.

13 El nombre del segundo río es Gihón: éste es el que rodea toda la tierra de Etiopía.
