– Your common sense of a suitable ground for growing flowers and plants derives from a pleasant country or region with abundant vegetation, fit for prayer. It is with this meaning that it appears in some books of the Bible:

Gn 2,8.15 : The Lord God had planted a garden in Eden, on the east side, and placed in it the man he had created.

Gen 3:24 : And he cast him out; and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed cherubim armed with a flaming sword.

Gen 13:10 : Lot, looking up, saw that all the plain of Jordan was watered with water like the garden of the Lord.

Eclo 24,28-29 : Those who eat me will still be hungry, and those who drink me will still be thirsty.

Jer 31:12 : His soul is like a well-watered garden, and his weakness will cease.

Am 9,14 : They will plant vineyards and drink their wine, cultivate orchards and eat their fruit.

Jn 18:1 : After these words, Jesus went out with his disciples beyond the Kidron Creek, where there was a garden.

Jn 19:41 : In the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb.

– In the Song of Songs, the wife is compared to an enclosed garden:

Song 4:12: It ‘s just a closed garden, my sister, my bride, a closed source, a sealed source.

– It is synonymous with conversion to move from the desert to a garden:

Is 51 :3 : He will make the desert where it has become an Eden, and its steppe a garden of the Lord.

Is 58,11 : You will be like a well-watered garden, like a source of inexhaustible waters.

Is 61,11 : Because how sure the sun makes its grains germinate and a garden makes its seeds sprout.
