Genesis 3:22-24

Listen to Genesis 3:22-24
22 Then the Lord God said, "The man has become like one of us; he knows good and evil. We must keep him from eating some of the fruit from the tree of life, or he will live forever."
23 So the Lord God forced the man out of the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken.
24 After God forced the man out of the garden, he placed angels and a sword of fire that flashed around in every direction on its eastern border. This kept people from getting to the tree of life.
