To the dwellers in Eden was committed the care of the garden, “to dress it and to keep it.” ... God appointed labor as a blessing to man, to occupy his mind, to strengthen his body, and to develop his faculties. In mental and physical activity, Adam found one of the highest pleasures of his holy existence. {FLB 232.3}

Beboerne i Eden blev pålagt at tage sig af haven, ”og klæde den og holde den.” . . . Gud har givet arbejdet som en velsignelse for mennesket, til at optage dets tanker, og styrke dets legeme, og udvikle dets evner. I den mentale og fysiske aktivitet fandt Adam en af de største glæder i sin hellige tilværelse.
