(Genesis 4:22-24) 22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: 23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of E’den, to till the ground from whence he was taken. 24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden Cher’ubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
