### Translation Notes: ###

* __took some dirt__ - God made man from the dust, or dry dirt from the ground. This word should probably be different from the general word used for earth.
* __formed it__ - This word expresses that God personally fashioned the man, comparing this to how a person creates something with his hands. Make sure that a different word from "create" is used. Note that this is very different from how he created everything else through a simple spoken command.
* __a man__ - Only the man was created at this time; the woman was created later by a different method.
* __breathed life__ - This phrase expresses God's very personal, intimate action as he transferred life from himself into Adam's body, comparing this to how a human being breathes out air.
* __life__ - In this event, God breathed both physical and spiritual life into the man.
* __Adam__ - Adam's name is the same as the Old Testament word for "man," and similar to the word for "dirt" from which he was formed.
* __garden__ - An area of land planted with trees and plants for a purpose–usually to produce food or to provide beauty.
* __care for it__ - To maintain the garden by tending, weeding, watering, harvesting, planting, etc.
