On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Adam's work was so far from being an allay that it was an addition to the pleasures of paradise; he could not have been happy if he had been idle: it is still a law, He that will not work has no right to eat, 2 Thess. iii. The command which God gave to man in innocency, and the covenant he then took him into.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Observe, That which God plants he will take care to keep watered. The trees of righteousness are set by the rivers, Ps. i.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Havilah had gold, and spices, and precious stones; but Eden had that which was infinitely better, the tree of life, and communion with God. So we may say of the Africans and Indians: "They have the gold, but we have the gospel. The gold of their land is good, but the riches of ours are infinitely better." II.
