OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_took YHWH god DOM the_humankind and_he/it_put_him/it in_garden of_ˊĒden to_work_her/it and_to_guard/attend_to_her/it.
Note 1 topic: writing-background
וַיִּקַּ֛ח יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֶת הָֽאָדָ֑ם וַיַּנִּחֵ֣הוּ
and=he/it_took YHWH ʼElohīm DOM the=humankind and=he/it_put=him/it
In verse 8 it says that God had already put the man in the garden, so the way you translate verse 15 should not sound like he did it again. This information is repeated here to continue the story from verse 8. Alternate translation: “Now Yahweh God had already put the man”
Note 2 topic: translate-names
בְגַן עֵ֔דֶן
in=garden ˊĒden
Notice that Garden is capitalized when it is part of a name. Alternate translation: “in the garden in the land called Eden”
לְעָבְדָ֖הּ
to=work=her/it
See how you translated work in verse 5. Alternate translation: “to farm it” or “so that he would farm it”
וּלְשָׁמְרָֽהּ
and=to=guard/attend_to=her/it
Alternate translation: “and maintain it.”
2:15 to tend and watch over: The garden required maintenance and oversight. Tending the Garden was humanity’s dignifying work. These roles in God’s garden-sanctuary were later applied to God’s Tabernacle (see Lev 8:35; Num 3:5-10; 4:46-49).
OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_took YHWH god DOM the_humankind and_he/it_put_him/it in_garden of_ˊĒden to_work_her/it and_to_guard/attend_to_her/it.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
