NETBible

The Lord God took the man and placed¹ him in the orchard in² Eden to care for it and to maintain it.³

NET Notes

¹tn The Hebrew verb נוּחַ (nuakh, translated here as “placed”) is a different verb than the one used in 2:8.

²tn 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).

³tn Heb “to work it and to keep it.”

³sn 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.
