Later books use garden as a picture: a well-watered garden for beauty and love, and "a garden shut up" for a bride who is kept pure and special. Interpretation: Tradition reads Eden as a place of perfect closeness to God, and "Gan Eden" is also the name for the world of reward after death. It reads the Song of Songs as a love poem between God and Israel, with the garden as the place where they meet. In the primary lessons: A place with rows of plants counted, or a rectangle with area and perimeter (fence). In science: plants need sun, water and soil; a school garden shows how seeds grow. In stories: secret gardens, gnomes. Phrases: «vegetable garden», «back garden», «flower garden», «gardening gloves». ### examples - And the LORD God commanded the man, saying: 'Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat; (Torah GEN.2.16, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/G/garden/#x1) - And the woman said unto the serpent: 'Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; (Torah GEN.3.2, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/G/garden/#x2) - And the LORD God planted a garden eastward, in Eden; and there He put the man whom He had formed.
