In Genesis 2:17, G-d said to Adam that in the day that Adam eats from the tree of knowledge, "you will die". Could it say that in that day "she (the garden) will die"? Genesis 2:15 uses the letter hay "her" and not "vav" "him" about Adam watching the garden and dressing it. Is garden feminine in this quote?
