Genesis 3:22-24
Then the Lord God said, “Now the man has become
like one of Us and has
knowledge of what is good and what is bad. He must not be allowed to take fruit
from the tree that
gives life, eat it, and live forever.” So the Lord God sent
him out of the
Garden of Eden and made him cultivate the soil from which he had
been formed. Then at the eastside of the garden He put living creatures and a
flaming sword which turned in all directions. This was to keep anyone from
coming near the tree that gives life.
