Genesis 2:15 Douay-Rheims

And the Lord God took man, and put him into the paradise of pleasure, to dress it, and to keep it.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown

1871 Reformed

put the man into the garden of Eden to dress it--not only to give him a pleasant employment, but to place him on his probation, and as the title of this garden, the garden of the Lord (Gen 13:10; Eze 28:13), indicates, it was in fact a temple in which he worshipped God, and was daily employed in offering the sacrifices of thanksgiving and praise.
