BRN And God planted a garden eastward in Edem, and placed there the man whom he had formed.
BrLXX Καὶ ἐφύτευσεν ὁ Θεὸς παράδεισον ἐν Ἐδὲμ κατὰ ἀνατολάς· καὶ ἔθετο ἐκεῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον, ὃν ἔπλασε.
(Kai efuteusen ho Theos paradeison en Edem kata anatolas; kai etheto ekei ton anthrōpon, hon eplase. )
2:8 Eden was the general location in which the garden was placed, not the garden itself. The term could mean “plain,” “delight,” or “fertility.” The description that follows favors the idea of fertility.
• in the east: The exact location of Eden is left to speculation, but it was east of Canaan, Israel’s later home.
• God placed the man in the garden for divine fellowship and physical blessing (see also 2:15 and study note there).
Note 1 topic: writing-background
וַיִּטַּ֞ע יְהוָ֧ה אֱלֹהִ֛ים
and=he/it_planted YHWH ʼₑlhīmv
The Hebrew text is ambiguous here. It could mean: (1) “Now Yahweh God had previously/already planted” or “Before that, Yahweh God had planted”. This interpretation fits the context of chapter one, which says that God had made all the trees and plants on day three (Gen 1:11-12), three days before he created man (Gen 1:26-27; 2:7). Following this view, verses 8-14 give background information for what happens in verses 15-24. (2) “Then Yahweh God planted”. According to this interpretation, God made the Garden of Eden on day six after he created man.
גַּן
garden
The man lived in this garden, and there were animals and many trees and other plants in it too, so it was fairly large. Make sure your translation of this term does not refer to something that is too small. Alternate translation: “a large park”
בְעֵ֖דֶן מִקֶּ֑דֶם
in=ˊĒden from=east
In this context, the phrase in the east could refer to: (1) the eastern part of the region of Eden; or (2) a region east of where Moses lived when he wrote this. It is best, if possible, to keep your translation of this phrase general here (like the Hebrew text). Alternate translation: “in the region called Eden, which was to the east,” or “in the eastern part of the land of Eden,”
וַיָּ֣שֶׂם שָׁ֔ם אֶת הָֽאָדָ֖ם
and=he/it_assigned there DOM the=humankind
Consider whether it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “and in that garden he put the man” or “That is where he put the man”
אֲשֶׁ֥ר יָצָֽר
which/who he/it_had_formed
See how you translated formed in verse 7. Alternate translation: “whom he had shaped” or “whom he had created”
