places in the bible: The Garden of Eden

places in the bible: The Garden of Eden by ric Gustafson


The name comes from the Hebrew meaning Pleasantness or Delight. The Garden of Eden was located near four rivers. The names are Tigris, Euphrates, Pishon and Gihon. Two possible locations for this place were Eastern Turkey or the Tigris Euphrates Valley. Some bible verses for this place include Genesis 2:8, Genesis 2:10 and Genesis 3: 23-24
The Garden of Eden was created by God as a lush beautiful garden. It was to be the home of the first man and woman Adam and Eve. When they ate a forbidden fruit they were banished from the garden forever.
