²⁴ After sending them out, the Lord God stationed mighty cherubim to the east of the Garden of Eden. And he placed a flaming sword that flashed back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

²⁴ After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side[1] of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

²⁴ So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden the Cherubim, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
