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.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown
THE GARDEN OF EDEN. () Eden--was probably a very extensive region in Mesopotamia, distinguished for its natural beauty and the richness and variety of its produce. Hence its name, signifying "pleasantness." God planted a garden eastward, an extensive park, a paradise, in which the man was put to be trained under the paternal care of his Maker to piety and usefulness.
