Verses 11-14
- Obviously is it important that Eden is the source of much water. What kinds of things are associated with water? What kinds of things might that suggest?
[edit]
Vese 15
- What does it mean to dress the garden? What does it mean to keep it? One translator says that Adam's job was "to serve and to guard." What do you think of that translation? What does Adam's job in the Garden mean to us? Do we have any similar job?
[edit]
Lexical notes
- The name "Eden" seems to connote "a well-watered place."
- The Hebrew word translated as "Ethiopia" in verse 13 is kush. In the context, the word more likely refers to a region of Mesopotamia rather than to the African country. Modern translations generally translate the word literally as "Cush."
