Genesis 2:7-9 BBE And the Lord God made man from the dust of the earth, breathing into him the breath of life: and man became a living soul. (8) And the Lord God made a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had made. (9) And out of the earth the Lord made every tree to come, delighting the eye and good for food; and in the middle of the garden, the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Genesis 2:16-17 BBE And the Lord God gave the man orders, saying, You may freely take of the fruit of every tree of the garden: (17) But of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you may not take; for on the day when you take of it, death will certainly come to you.

Genesis 3:1-6 GW The snake was more clever than all the wild animals the LORD God had made. He (under the influence or control of Satan) asked the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must never eat the fruit of any tree in the garden'?" (2) The woman answered the snake, "We're allowed to eat the fruit from any tree in the garden (3) except the tree in the middle of the garden. God said, 'You must never eat it or touch it. If you do, you will die!'" (4) "You certainly won't die!" the snake told the woman. (5) "God knows that when you eat it your eyes will be opened. You'll be like God, knowing good and evil." (6) The woman saw that the tree had fruit that was good to eat, nice to look at, and desirable for making someone wise. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
