Genesis 2:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 ¶ The Lord God also [a]made the man [b]of the dust of the ground, and breathed in his face breath of life, (A)and the man was a living soul.
8 And the Lord God planted a garden Eastward in [c]Eden, and there he put the man whom he had made.
9 (For out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree pleasant to the sight, and good for meat: the [d]tree of life also in the midst of the garden, [e]and the tree of knowledge of good and of evil.
