Genesis 2:10-14 lists four rivers in association with the garden of Eden: Pishon, Gihon, Hiddekel (the Tigris), and Phirat (the Euphrates). Cherubim were placed east of the garden, "and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way of the tree of life". In Genesis 3, the man and the woman were seduced by the serpent into eating the forbidden fruit, and they were expelled from the garden to prevent them from eating of the tree of life, and thus living forever. Last of all, God made a woman ( Eve) from a rib of the man to be a companion for the man. The man was free to eat from any tree in the garden except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which were taboo. Another interpretation associates the name with a Hebrew word for " pleasure" thus the Vulgate reads "paradisum voluptatis" in Genesis 2:8, and the Douay–Rheims Bible, following, has the wording "And the Lord God had planted a paradise of pleasure". The name derives from the Akkadian edinnu, from a Sumerian word edin meaning " plain" or " steppe", closely related to an Aramaic root word meaning "fruitful, well-watered". Mentions of Eden are also made in the Bible elsewhere in Genesis, in Isaiah 51:3, Ezekiel 36:35, and Joel 2:3 Zechariah 14 and Ezekiel 47 use paradisical imagery without naming Eden. The Hebrew Bible depicts Adam and Eve as walking around the Garden of Eden naked due to their sinlessness. Like the Genesis flood narrative, the Genesis creation narrative and the account of the Tower of Babel, the story of Eden echoes the Mesopotamian myth of a king, as a primordial man, who is placed in a divine garden to guard the tree of life. Various suggestions have been made for its location: at the head of the Persian Gulf, in southern Mesopotamia (now Iraq) where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers run into the sea and in Armenia. The location of Eden is described in the Book of Genesis as the source of four tributaries. In Abrahamic religions, the Garden of Eden ( Hebrew: גַּן־עֵדֶן, gan-ʿĒḏen) or Garden of God ( גַּן־יְהֹוֶה, gan- YHWH and גַן־אֱלֹהִים gan- Elohim), also called the Terrestrial Paradise, is the biblical paradise described in Genesis 2-3 and Ezekiel 28 and 31. 1615, depicting both domestic and exotic wild animals such as tigers, parrots and ostriches co-existing in the garden Jer 51:27 Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the Trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz appoint a captain against her cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillers.The Garden of Eden with the Fall of Man by Jan Brueghel the Elder and Pieter Paul Rubens, c.Jer 51:14 The LORD of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillers and they shall lift up a shout against thee.Psa 105:34 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,.2 Chr 6:28 If there be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillers if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land whatsoever sore or whatsoever sickness there be:.
