Abstract

Genesis 2:15 provides a theological understanding of the husband's role as the head of the family who must be responsible for his family. But what happens is that there are husbands who are less responsible. Previous interpreters have made good contributions in interpreting Genesis 2:15. But these interpretations only highlight the necessity for humans to work. So it is important to re-interpret this text from the aspect of the husband's responsibility as the head of the family in a Christian family. This research was conducted to find out the husband's responsibilities as the head of the family and the principles in carrying out these responsibilities based on Genesis 2:15. The research method uses the library research method with a hermeneutic approach. The results of the study show that the word take has the meaning of taking and moving with one purpose. The word place has the meaning of resting or resting place. God is the main cause that placed Adam in the garden of Eden as a place of rest or as a pleasant habitat. The word cultivate means to manage seriously and the word maintain means to maintain, namely activities carried out with the aim of 'preservation' or certainty of availability. The conclusion of this study is that the husband's responsibility in a Christian family is to work to provide for his family. That responsibility comes from God and must be accountable to God. Work must be with the principle of sincerity and consistency.
