I. Places.
(1) A country, in the eastern portion of which God
planted for Adam a garden, called from its situation the garden of
Eden. A river went out of (the country of) Eden to water the
garden, and being thence parted, became four heads, called Pishon, Gihon,
Hiddekel, and Euphrates. Of these four rivers, the Euphrates is
well known. Hiddekel, in Accadian Id Idikla, is undoubtedly
the Tigris; the other two are more doubtful. If, with Prof. Sayce,
Pishon is considered the Babylonian word for a canal, and Gihon, perhaps
Accadian Gukhan, the stream on which Babylon stood (Fresh Light,
p. 26), then the site of Eden is fixed near Babylon. In conformity
with this view, the cuneiform records use Eden as the name of the
"field" or plain of Babylonia where the first living creatures
were brought into being. From the second creation document in
Genesis we learn that in the garden grew "every tree that is
pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the
midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and
evil." There Adam named the animals; there also Eve was
created, and the temptation and fall took place. Our first parents
were then expelled from the blissful abode, Cherubim and the flame of
the sword being placed at the east of the garden to prevent their return
(Gen. ii. 8-iii. 24). The cuneiform records tell of a good or holy
city called Eridu, near which was the shrine of Irnin (the
Euphrates). In the midst of a forest or garden in the vicinity
grew "the holy pine-tree," "the tree of life."
The garden of Eden is referred to in Isa. li. 3; Ezek. xxviii. 13; xxxi.
9, 16-18; xxxvi. 35; and Joel ii. 3.
(2) A region in Telassar conqured by the Assyrians (2
Kings xix. 12; Isa. xxxvii. 12). It is apparently the place
mentioned along with Haran and Canneh, with which the Tyrians
traded. The people of Eden and its associate towns brought to Tyre
blue clothes, broidered work, chests of cedar full of rich apparel, etc.
(Ezek. xxvii. 23, 24). It was probably in Mesopotamia, but its
exact site is unknown.
(3) A place apparently near Damascus in Syria,
mentioned in Amos i. 5. On the margin it is called Beth-Eden
(q.v.). Exact site unknown.
II. A Man.—A Gershonite Levite, a son of
Joah (2 Chron. xxix. 12). Probably the same as the Eden mentioned
in xxxi. 15. (The Sunday School Teacher's Bible Manual, Hunter,
1894).
