122. Verse 15 And Jehovah God took the man and placed him in the garden of Eden, to till it and to care for it.

'The garden of Eden' means all the qualities of the celestial man which are the subject here. 'Tilling it and caring for it' means that he is allowed to enjoy all these things but not to possess them as his own, since they are the Lord's.
