創世記 2:8-14 RCUVTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 2:10

The precise locality of Eden is indicated by its relation to the great watercourses of the region. And a river (literally, a flowing water, applicable to large oceanic floods— Job 22:16 ; Psalms 24:2 ; Psalms 46:5 ; Jonah 2:4 —as well as to narrow streams) went out (literally, going out) of Eden to water the garden. To conclude from this that the river had its source within the limits of the garden is to infer more than the premises will warrant. Nothing more is implied in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 2:11-12

The name of the first (river is) Pishon , or "the full-flowing." This is the first of those marks by which the river, when discovered, must be identified. It was palpably a broad-bosomed stream. A second is derived from the region through which it flows. That is it which compasseth (not necessarily surrounding, but skirting in a circular or circuitous fashion— Numbers 21:4 ; 11:8 ) the whole land of Havilah . Havilah itself is described by three of its productions. Where there... read more

And the name of the second is the Gihon , or "the bursting," from גֵּיחַ , to break forth. "Deep-flowing," T . Lewis renders it, connecting it with ω ̔ κεανο ì ς , and identifying it with Homer's βαθυῤῥόος ὠκεανός . The same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia (Cush). Under the impression that the African Cush was meant, the Alexandrine Jews discovered the Gihon in the Nile—an opinion in which they have been followed by Schulthess, Gesenius, Furst,... read more

And the name of the third river is the, Hiddekel , or "the darting," from חַד and דֶּקֶל , a sharp and swift arrow, referring to its rapidity. It is unanimously agreed that this must be identified with the Tigris; in the present language of the Persians designated tir , which signifies an arrow. It is styled in Aramaic diglath or diglah . That is it which goeth towards the east of Assyria . Its identity is thus placed beyond a question. And the fourth river is Euphrates ,... read more

So that both man’s mind and body were gratified and enriched. The tree of life also So called, it seems, not only because it was intended to be a sign to Adam, assuring him of the continuance of life and happiness, on condition of his persevering in obedience; but also because God had given to... read more

Genesis 2:10-14 . A river went out of Eden This river, branching itself into four streams, contributed much both to the pleasantness and fertility of the garden. Hiddekel and Euphrates are rivers of Babylon: but we need not wonder that the rise and situation of all these rivers cannot now be perfectly ascertained, considering the great changes produced in the state of the earth, as well by earthquakes as by the general deluge. Havilah had gold, and spices, and precious stones: ... read more

2:4-4:26 EARLY HUMAN LIFELife in the Garden of Eden (2:4-25)From this point on, the story concentrates on the people God made, rather than on other features of the created universe. Again the Bible states that the world was not always as it is now, but was prepared stage by stage till it was suitable for human habitation. God created Adam (meaning ‘man’ or ‘mankind’) not out of nothing, but out of materials he had previously created. Like the other animals, Adam had his physical origins in the... read more
