Genesis 2:8 in Context — Genesis 2

6 Mas subia da terra um vapor, que regava toda a face da terra.

7 Formou, pois, o SENHOR Deus ao homem do pó da terra, e assoprou em seu nariz sopro de vida; e foi o homem em alma vivente.

8 E havia o SENHOR Deus plantado um jardim em Éden ao oriente, e pôs ali ao homem que havia formado.

9 E havia o SENHOR Deus feito nascer da terra toda árvore agradável à vista, e boa para comer: também a árvore da vida em meio do jardim, e a árvore do conhecimento do bem e do mal.

10 E saía de Éden um rio para regar o jardim, e dali se repartia em quatro ramificações.
