3. Moses says further, that God planted a paradise in the east, flourishing with all sorts of trees; and that among them was the tree of life, and another of knowledge, whereby was to be known what was good and evil; and that when he brought Adam and his wife into this garden, he commanded them to take care of the plants. Now the garden was watered by one river,3 which ran round about the whole earth, and was parted into four parts. MOSES SAYS FURTHER THAT GOD PLANTED A PARADISE IN THE EAST FLOURISHING WITH ALL SORTS OF TREES AND THAT AMONG THEM WAS THE TREE OF LIFE AND ANOTHER OF KNOWLEDGE WHEREBY WAS TO BE KNOWN WHAT WAS GOOD AND EVIL AND THAT WHEN HE BROUGHT ADAM AND HIS WIFE INTO THIS GARDEN HE COMMANDED THEM TO TAKE CARE OF THE PLANTS NOW THE GARDEN WAS WATERED BY ONE RIVER WHICH RAN ROUND ABOUT THE WHOLE EARTH AND WAS DIVIDED INTO FOUR PARTS
 philosophically; and concerning the formation of man, says thus: That God took dust from the ground, and formed man, and inserted in him a spirit and a soul.2 This man was called Adam, which in the Hebrew tongue signifies one that is red, because he was formed out of red earth, compounded together; for of that kind is virgin and true earth. God also presented the living creatures, when he had made them, according to their kinds, both male and female, to Adam, who gave them those names by which they are still called. But when he saw that Adam had no female companion, no society, for there was no such created, and that he wondered at the other animals which were male and female, he laid him asleep, and took away one of his ribs, and out of it formed the woman; whereupon Adam knew her when she was brought to him, and acknowledged that she was made out of himself. Now a woman is called in the Hebrew tongue Issa; but the name of this woman was Eve, which signifies the mother of all living.
