BASH error, unexpected token near "source"

Hoping someone can help me figure out the cause of this error:

-bash: /Users/me/.bash_profile: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `source'
-bash: /Users/me/.bash_profile: line 1: `if which rbenv > /dev/null; then eval "$(rbenv init -)"; fi source /Users/me/.bash_profile'

Here is the line in my .bash_profile:

if which rbenv > /dev/null; then eval "$(rbenv init -)"; fi source /Users/me/.bash_profile

Check your .bash_profile

it should look like this 

if which rbenv > /dev/null; then eval "$(rbenv init -)"; fi

Should end after the fi.

The source /Users/me/.bash_profile is a command that you should run after editing the bash profile. Just erase this after the fi and everything just run fine.

You missed a semicolon after fi:

if which rbenv > /dev/null; then eval "$(rbenv init -)"; fi; source /Users/me/.bash_profile
