Yahweh God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil.

Now, lest he reach out his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever—”

Therefore Yahweh God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.

So he drove out the man;

and he placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.

The man knew Eve his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Cain, and said, “I have gotten a man with Yahweh’s help.”

Again she gave birth, to Cain’s brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

He showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb, in the middle of its street.

On this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month.

The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

There will be no curse any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it,

and his servants will serve him.

They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.

There will be no night, and they need no lamp light or sun light; for the Lord God will illuminate them.
