← Genesis 3:23	Genesis 3:24 (KJV)	Genesis 4:1 →
Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.	So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.	And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
