The garden paradise where God placed the first humans
MesopotamiaThe garden God planted for Adam and Eve at the beginning of creation. It had every tree pleasant to look at and good for food, including the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Four rivers flowed from Eden — the Pishon, Gihon, Tigris, and Euphrates. After Adam and Eve disobeyed God, they were banished from Eden and cherubim with a flaming sword guarded the way back.
Genesis
God's Day Off and the First Couple
Eden is described here as the source of a great river that splits into four — its geography grounds the paradise narrative in a specific, lush region of the ancient world.
Genesis
The Worst Decision in Human History
Eden is the garden Adam is physically driven out of here, its eastern gate now sealed by cherubim — the paradise that was home is now permanently off-limits.
Ezekiel
The Ultimate Blueprint Drop
Eden is the paradise being symbolically restored through this Temple vision — the cherubim and palm trees carved into every wall declare that God is rebuilding the divine-human closeness that was lost when Adam and Eve were expelled.
