and=river going_out
[Verse 10](../02/10.md) gives more of the background information that began in [verse 8](../02/08.md). Many translations omit the conjunction And or “Now” here. Alternate translation: [Now a river was flowing] or [A river was flowing]
מֵעֵ֔דֶן
from=ˊĒden
The garden was inside the land of Eden, so as the river flowed through Eden, it watered the garden. Alternate translation: [from the land of Eden]

See how you translated watered in [verse 6](../02/06.md). Alternate translation: [to irrigate] or [to provide water for] or [that watered]
אֶת־הַגָּ֑ן
DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and=river going_out from=ˊĒden to=water DOM the=garden and=from=there it_divided and=it_was to=four heads )
See how you translated this phrase in [verse 8](../02/08.md). Alternate translation: [the park]
וּמִשָּׁם֙
(Some words not found in UHB: and=river going_out from=ˊĒden to=water DOM the=garden and=from=there it_divided and=it_was to=four heads )
Alternate translation: [and from the garden] or [and from Eden]
יִפָּרֵ֔ד וְהָיָ֖ה לְאַרְבָּעָ֥ה רָאשִֽׁים
(Some words not found in UHB: and=river going_out from=ˊĒden to=water DOM the=garden and=from=there it_divided and=it_was to=four heads )
This verse could refer to: (1) a river in Eden which was the source river that watered the garden and then divided downstream into the four smaller rivers. Alternate translation: [the river divided into four smaller rivers]; (2) the four rivers being source headwaters that flowed downstream and joined to form the larger river in Eden. Alternate translation: [there were four smaller source rivers that joined together and formed the larger river] If possible, leave your translation ambiguous here (as the Hebrew text does), so that either interpretation is possible.

2:10 OSHB note: We read punctuation in L differently from BHS.
OET (OET-RV) A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and then from there it split into four rivers.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
