Commentary
The garden was perfectly prepared. It was man's home and he had to tend and keep it. Even the biblical paradise required work (1:26-28)!Radmacher, E. D., Allen, R. B., & House, H. W. (1999). Nelson's new illustrated Bible commentary (Ge 2:15). Nashville: T. Nelson Publishers.
The Garden of Eden - the first home of Adam and Eve, the first man and woman (2:4-3:24). Eden is a translation of a Hebrew word which means "Delight," suggesting a "Garden of Delight."
