Genesis 2:8

And he is fixing-upright64 Yahweh elohim, an enclosure65 in Eden, from the front [east],66 and he is setting he has set the Red-one whom he has formed.


Footnote:

66

from the front is a way of speaking about what is coming. Time is directional. Eden is directional. The Scriptures use an objective term (relative to one’s faces) for direction (Strong’s #6926) though it always gets translated abstractly as “east”.
