The Lord has placed many trees in this garden. From the beginning, man may live in abundance. Two trees receive special attention. The Lord designates these as special trees. They are positioned in a place that man can easily recognize: the centre of the garden. The trees do not look much different from the other trees in the garden. They are like the other trees: “pleasant to the sight and good for food.” However, these two trees occupy a special position in paradise.
9 L'Eternel Dieu fit pousser du sol des arbres de toute espèce, agréables à voir et bons à manger, et l'arbre de la vie au milieu du jardin, et l'arbre de la connaissance du bien et du mal.
