Description
Eden in the text
Eden, also known as the Garden of Eden, was the perfect paradise created by God as a dwelling place for the first man and woman, Adam and Eve. It was planted by God in the east (Genesis 2:8) and was watered by a river that divided into four headwaters (Genesis 2:10). God placed Adam in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it (Genesis 2:15). The garden contained various trees, including the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:9). After Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they were expelled from the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:23-24). Cherubim and a flaming sword were placed at the east of the garden to guard the way to the tree of life (Genesis 3:24). The Garden of Eden is mentioned in later biblical passages as a symbol of perfect beauty, abundance, and God's ideal for His creation (Isaiah 51:3; Ezk.28.13; 31:9, 16, 18; 36:35; Jol.2.3). The exact location of the Garden of Eden is unknown, but it is believed to have been situated in the ancient Near East, possibly in Mesopotamia.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
