Portuguese (Bíblia Sagrada: Versão Fácil de Ler) VFL
Isto aconteceu para que nenhuma outra árvore bem regada crescesse tão alto, para que o topo de nenhuma chegasse até as nuvens e para que nenhuma das árvores que se alimentam da mesma água estivesse junto a ele. Porque todas foram destinadas à morte e enviadas ao mundo que fica embaixo da terra como todos os seres humanos.
