Genesis 2:15

And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
  1. The LORD God moved the man He created into the garden He had created (already stated in verse 8).
  2. The garden created by the LORD God for the man is called the garden of Eden.
  3. The LORD God put the man into the garden so he would dress it (adjust, put in good order, arrange - Webster's 1913 Dictionary) and keep it (care for it, tend it - Webster's 1913 Dictionary). In other words, the man was to be the gardener.
