Genesis 2:8 Douay-Rheims

And the Lord God had planted a paradise of pleasure from the beginning: wherein he placed man whom he had formed.

John Chrysostom

A.D. 347–407 Patristic

And when, dearly beloved, you hear that "God planted a garden in Eden in the east," take the word planted in a sense appropriate to God—namely, that he commanded this happen—and about the next phrase, believe that a garden came into being in the place that Scripture indicated.
