John 18:26

18:26 One of the high priest’s slaves, ¹  a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, ²  said, “Did I not see you in the orchard ³  with him?” ⁴ 

Genesis 2:15

2:15 The Lord God took the man and placed ⁵  him in the orchard in ⁶  Eden to care for it and to maintain it. ⁷ 

Genesis 3:23

3:23 So the Lord God expelled him ⁸  from the orchard in Eden to cultivate the ground from which he had been taken.

¹ tn See the note on the word “slaves” in 4:51.

² sn This incident is recounted in v. 10.

³ tn Or “garden.”

⁴ tn This question, prefaced with οὐκ (ouk) in Greek, anticipates a positive answer.

⁵ tn The Hebrew verb נוּחַ (nuakh, translated here as “placed”) is a different verb than the one used in 2:8.

⁶ tn 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).

⁷ tn Heb “to work it and to keep it.”

⁸ tn The verb is the Piel preterite of שָׁלַח (shalakh), forming a wordplay with the use of the same verb (in the Qal stem) in v. 22: To prevent the man’s “sending out” his hand, the Lord “sends him out.”
