Genesis 2:8 Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in

Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. 9 And the Lord God

made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing

to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the

tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 10 A river

watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated

into four headwaters. 11 The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds

through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold. - (NIV84)

Genesis 12:7 The Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring

I will give this land.” So he built an altar there to the Lord, who had

appeared to him. - (NIV84)

John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and

to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may

have it more abundantly.
