to keep, guard, watch over

Where it comes from

The same verb used for keeping the garden, keeping the commandments, and the LORD keeping you in the blessing of Numbers 6. Guarding and obeying are one idea.

Genesis 2:15

And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
