SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:15
Tomó, pues, el SEÑOR Dios al hombre, y le puso en el huerto de Edén, para que lo labrase y lo guardase.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 2:15
Verse 15. Put him into the garden-to dress it, and to keep it.] Horticulture, or gardening, is the first kind of employment on record, and that in which man was engaged while in a state of perfection and innocence. Though the garden may be supposed to produce all things spontaneously, as the whole vegetable surface of the earth certainly did at the creation, yet dressing and tilling were afterwards necessary to maintain the different kinds of plants and vegetables in their perfection, and to repress luxuriance. Even in a state of innocence we cannot conceive it possible that man could have been happy if inactive. God gave him work to do, and his employment contributed to his happiness; for the structure of his body, as well as of his mind, plainly proves that he was never intended for a merely contemplative life.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15 - After God had formed Adam, he put him in the garden. All boasting wa thereby shut out. Only he that made us can make us happy; he that is the Former of our bodies, and the Father of our spirits, and none but he, can fully provide for the happiness of both. Even in paradis itself man had to work. None of us were sent into the world to be idle He that made our souls and bodies, has given us something to work with and he that gave us this earth for our habitation, has made u something to work upon. The sons and heirs of heaven, while in thi world, have something to do about this earth, which must have its shar of their time and thoughts; and if they do it with an eye to God, the as truly serve him in it, as when they are upon their knees. Observ that the husbandman's calling is an ancient and honourable calling; it was needful even in paradise. Also, there is true pleasure in the business God calls us to, and employs us in. Adam could not have bee happy if he had been idle: it is still God's law, He that will not wor has no right to eat, 2Th 3:10.
