2:15The Lord God took the man and placed45 him in the orchard in46 Eden to care for it and to maintain it.47
Footnotes
- 45 The Hebrew verb נוּחַ (nuakh, translated here as “placed”) is a different verb than the one used in 2:8.
- 46 Traditionally translated “the Garden of Eden,” the context makes it clear that the garden (or orchard) was in Eden (making “Eden” a genitive of location).
- 47 Heb “to work it and to keep it.” Note that man’s task is to care for and maintain the trees of the orchard. Not until after the fall, when he is condemned to cultivate the soil, does this task change.
