Genesis 2:8 in Context — Genesis 2

6 Mais une vapeur s’éleva de la terre, et arrosa toute la surface du sol.

7 L’Éternel Dieu forma l’homme de la poussière de la terre, il souffla dans ses narines un souffle de vie et l’homme devint un être vivant.

8 Puis l’Éternel Dieu planta un jardin en Éden, du côté de l’orient, et il y mit l’homme qu’il avait formé.

9 L’Éternel Dieu fit pousser du sol des arbres de toute espèce, agréables à voir et bons à manger, et l’arbre de la vie au milieu du jardin, et l’arbre de la connaissance du bien et du mal.

10 Un fleuve sortait d’Éden pour arroser le jardin, et de là il se divisait en quatre bras.
