Garden Temple

  • Semi-Technical
  • Gregory K. Beale

Beale notes the cultic affinities drawn between the garden of Eden and the temple of Israel. The word pair usually translated as "cultivate" ('abad) and "keep" (shamar) occur together in the Old Testament elsewhere referring only either to Israelites "serving" God and "guarding" (keeping) God's Word, or to priests who "keep" the "service" (or "charge") of the tabernacle.

Weeping and praying do well together; tears put life into prayers...and prayers help to wipe away tears. Matthew Henry
