8 And the Lord God planted a fgarden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
13 You were in eEden, the garden of God;
fevery precious stone was your covering,
gsardius, topaz, and diamond,
beryl, onyx, and jasper,
sapphire,1 femerald, and carbuncle;
and crafted in gold were your settings
and your engravings.2
iOn the day that you were created
they were prepared.
9 I made it beautiful
in the mass of its branches,
and all the trees of jEden envied it,
that were in the garden of God.
3 pFire devours before them,
and behind them a flame burns.
The land is like qthe garden of Eden before them,
but rbehind them a desolate wilderness,
and nothing escapes them.
