Genesis 2 6:10
6: But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
7: And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
8: And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed.
9: And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
10: And a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from thence it was parted and became four heads.

Keep in mind when reading the Bible, there are a few ways to gather your perspective. One, you take it for literal terms. Two, mythologically. Three, metaphorically. Empirical thinkers, can not relate to most of the Bible stories, due to their personal modern factual reasonings. Hence the rise of atheism and agnosticism. Yet, the Bible is riddled with codifications. It takes a keen eye for exploration with the acknowledgement of your current understandings. Thus, shapes you and your continual development as you progress in reading spiritual texts. Personally, I find the verses go in a merry go around fashion. Therefore, one requires to zoom out as one would do on a map. Therefore, allowing to look at the verses/stories as a complete picture. Also note, that the Bible is riddled with so many stories, it can leer into contradiction. Yet again one must learn to develop discernment while acknowledging the deeper education which embedded. The tree of knowledge of good and evil can be termed as the tree of discernment, yet what comes through the discernment of good and evil?
6: Through evaporation and precipitation to the misty clouds, follows the rains upon the lands.
7: And Humanity/Man of the Earth. Through air we breathe, thus life we are.
8: And land, Lush and enriched. The Eden of paradise in which Man/Humankind has been given forth.
9: Earth/Garden that hath all foods of every tree and shrub. Thus The Tree of Life (Knowledge, Life and Strength) and the tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (Judgement and Discernment).
10: And from a conjoined stream, which parted into four waterways, runs alike everglades.
