Bible Question: Where is Eden? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Paygan, You ask, "Where is Eden?" "2,8: Eden: used here as the name of a region in southern Mesopotamia; the term is derived from the Sumerian word eden, "fertile plain." A similar-sounding Hebrew word means "delight"; the garden in Eden could therefore be understood as the "garden of delight," so that, through the Greek version, it is now known also as "paradise," literally, a "pleasure park." (pg. 5, Saint Joseph Edition of The New American Bible, 1991 CCD). Blessings to you, Makarios |
