Genesis 2:14-15

2:14 The name of the third river is Tigris; it runs along the east side of Assyria. ¹  The fourth river is the Euphrates.

2:15 The Lord God took the man and placed ²  him in the orchard in ³  Eden to care for it and to maintain it. ⁴ 

[2:14]  ¹ tn Heb “Asshur” (so NEB, NIV).

[2:15]  ² tn The Hebrew verb נוּחַ (nuakh, translated here as “placed”) is a different verb than the one used in 2:8.

[2:15]  ³ 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).

[2:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “to work it and to keep it.”
