Ge 2:8 The LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed.

9 And out of the ground the LORD God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

10 Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it parted and became four riverheads.

11 The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one which skirts the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.

12 And the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and the onyx stone are there.

13 The name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one which goes around the whole land of Cush.

14 The name of the third river is Hiddekel; it is the one which goes toward the east of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.

15 Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.

In these verses (8 to 15) we have God providing man a home, sustenance and meaningful occupation. Through his occupation as a gardener, he was to worship God.

His home was a garden of delight and pleasure. It was situated in a locality wherein there were many natural resources to harness and use for art and ornamentation.

This was to teach Israel that the God who delivered them from Egypt, provided them a home in the Promise Land (flowing with milk and honey) and gave them the responsibility to work on it and cultivate it is the very same God who provided for Adam a land to live in.

Whatever man has were all provided and given by God. Hence the command not to steal and covet.

They (Israel) were not to seek other gods for these things. God is their provider.
