AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 3:24 So God drove the man out; and at the east of the Garden of Eden He [permanently] stationed the cherubim and the sword with the flashing blade which turned round and round [in every direction] to protect and guard the way (entrance, access) to the tree of life. [Rev 2:7; 22:2, 14, 19] |

Bible Note: Hi, I follow your reasoning. I have not attempted a word study on the subject to know if the Hebrew extrapolation fits. If it does, then the drying up of the abundant watering could fit. Steve |
