Garden of Eden Rivers |

|
Genesis 2 10And a river went out of Eden (pleasure) to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. 11The name of the first is Pison (increase): that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah (circle), where there is gold; 12And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. 13And the name of the second river is Gihon (bursting forth): the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia (Kuwsh { koosh} Cush = "black"). 14And the name of the third river is Hiddekel (rapid): that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria (a step). And the fourth river is Euphrates (fruitfulness).These are thoughts only and not conclusions:This is assuming that the Garden of Eden was where Jerusalem currently is now.The River
Increase in the land of Circle…. gold
of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone
WEST (because the other three compass points are taken)
The River
Bursting forth in the land of Black
SOUTH (because Ethiopia is south)
The River
Rapid toward the east of a
step EAST
The River Fruitfulness NORTH (Euphrates is both north and east of Jerusalem, and East is already taken, therefore, it must be North)
