Genesis 2:7-9
Evangelical Heritage Version
7 The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground[a] and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. 8 The Lord God planted a garden[b] in Eden in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. 9 Out of the ground the Lord God made every kind of tree grow—trees that are pleasant to look at and good for food, including the Tree of Life in the middle of the garden and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
