2.15 Tulit ergo Dominus Deus, etc. AUG., ubi supra, c. 8 Hominem in paradiso positum jam dixit. Nunc recapitulat ad quid positus est, ut operaretur, etc. Non est enim credibile quod Deus eum ante peccatum ad laborem damnaverit, etc., usque ad unde Eccli. 10: initium enim superbiæ hominis est apostatare a Deo. Tulit ergo Dominus Deus hominem, etc. GREG., lib. XIX Moral., cap. 17, tom. 1 Pensandum est quia bona prodesse nequeunt, si mala non caventur quæ subrepunt, etc., usque ad sed sub ipsis superbiendo succumbunt. Et sumpsit Dominus Deus, etc. HIERON. Quæst. Hebr. in Gen., tom. 3 Pro voluptate in Hebræo habetur Eden. Ipsi ergo LXX nunc Eden interpretati sunt, nunc voluptatem. Symmachus vero, qui paradisum florentem ante transtulerat, hic amœnitatem, vel delicias posuit. Et posuit eum, etc. ISID. Mystice. Ex eo quod additum est, et custodiret, innuitur qualis operatio esset: quia in tranquillitate beatæ vitæ, ubi mors non est, omnis operatio est custodire quod tenes. Datum est enim præceptum, ut de omni ligno paradisi sumerent, sed non de ligno scientiæ boni et mali: id est non sic eo fruerentur, ut integritatem naturæ suæ usurpando vetitum violarent.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

וַ⁠יִּקַּ֛ח יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֶת הָֽ⁠אָדָ֑ם וַ⁠יַּנִּחֵ֣⁠הוּ

and=he/it_took YHWH ʼElhīmv 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.”
