Genesis 2:8

And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

1. God planted a garden in a place called Eden.
2. God created the man (Adam) outside the garden, apparently west of Eden, unless the frame of reference is something else not mentioned.
3. God moved the man from where he was first created to the garden, eastward in Eden.
4. This verse raises a number of questions for me - 1) Why did God choose Eden for the garden? 2) Why didn't God just save himself the trouble of moving Adam by creating him in Eden to begin with? 3) Why did God have to plant a special garden for the man? Why not just let him stay where he was first created? 4) How did God move the man?
