"I saw the beneficial influence of outdoor labor upon those of feeble vitality and depressed circulation, especially upon women who have induced these conditions by too much confinement indoors. Their blood has become impure for want of fresh air and exercise. Instead of amusements to keep these persons indoors, care should be taken to provide outdoor attractions. I saw there should be connected with the Institute ample grounds, beautified with flowers and planted with vegetables and fruits. Here the feeble could find work, appropriate to their sex and condition, at suitable hours. These grounds should be under the care of an experienced gardener to direct all in a tasteful, orderly manner. 1T 562.2"
"In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."
While not a direct quote, the EGW passage's emphasis on outdoor labor for health echoes the concept of labor being a part of the human experience after the fall, as described in Genesis 3:19. The connection is thematic, relating to the value of work and its impact on well-being.
"He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding."
Both passages connect working the land with positive outcomes. Proverbs 12:11 contrasts it with following vain pursuits, while EGW highlights its health benefits. The connection is valid, though not a direct quote or explicit allusion.
