I was studying about the location of the Garden of Eden today, and I noticed you said the Bible lists four rivers Pishon, Gihon, Euphrates, and the Tigris? I don’t believe that the Bible lists the Tigris. I believe the last river is listed as Hiddekel which is found in Genesis 2:10-14.<\/p>\n\t
“The name of the third river is Hiddekel; it is the one which goes toward the east of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates<\/em>” (Genesis 2:14 NKJV).<\/p>\n
“The name of the third river is Tigris; it flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates<\/em>” (Genesis 2:14 NASB95).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Hiddekel is another name for the Tigris, as is seen in Daniel 10:4, “Now on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, that is, the Tigris.<\/em>” The same word appears in both Genesis 2:14 and Daniel 10:4. Hiddekel is the transliteration of the Hebrew name for the river and Tigris is the translation of the word.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
