Garden of Eden
Posted: Fri Feb 16, 2018 6:03 pm
I have throughout studied the Garden of Eden story in Genesis and discovered etymology behind some of the word, the garden is introduced in
genesis 2:6 , the KJV version reads 'But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
The Septuagint doesn't use the word Garden, but παράδεισον ( Paradeison ) but this can be written in Hebrew as פרדאש (PRDAS)
meaning ' Separated from Fire' and reversing the name אשפרד ( ASPRD) , You get the etymology of Ἑσπερίδες ( Hesperides ) , Gen 2:6
reads 'Mist ', in Hebrew that is אֵד from אוּד meaning Fire-brand and so 2:6 seems to suggest the rivers that watered the ground was 'separated from fire' hence פרדאש ( Paradise ).
If one reads the Septuagint, the name Eden doesn't appear, but instead it is written Edem, this is the Hebrew אַדְמֹ meaning Ruddy, for
2:6 starts 'Mist (AD) from (MN), ran together as אַדְמֹנִי (Ruddy) and thus conclude the original intended name was Edom and not Eden.
They are four rivers, the first two Pison ( Φισ-ων) and Gihon (Γη-ων) , these are written as Greek locative nouns, thus must have being translated from a Greek source.
Gen 2:11-12 - Pison compasses 'Land of Havilah' were there is Gold... there is Bdellium and Onyx Stone
Havilah (חֲוִילָה ) derives from Greek 'ἔπαυλις ( Epaulis ) meaning habitation and cognate with חַוָּה meaning Village but also that word
itself along with Villa and Polis, Bdellium is Beryl, derives from Gk βηρύλλιον (Eze 28:13) , the reference to Gold is descriptive, but are referring
Snow.
Gen 2:13 - Second River is Gihon.. Land of Ethiopia
Gihon as other biblical appearances, the most important is 2 Chronicles 32:30 that reads ' Hezekiah also stopped the upper watercourse of Gihon '
because these are not natural rivers but man made conduits, see also Isaiah 7:3 'the conduit of the upper pool' and 2 Kings 20:20 'he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought water into the city' , Pison also appears but via dialects as Kishon , see 1 Kings 18:38, reading 'Fire of the lord fell.. burnt sacrifice..licked up the water that was in the trench and 1 Kings 18:40 'Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon' . Ethiopia means 'Burnt mouth', the Hebrew name is Cush derives from κάος ( Kindle , that which burns) and thus that 'Fire' theme.
Gen 2:14 - And the name of the third river is Hiddekel:
The name Hiddekel is a transliteration of the Greek word κατακλείς ( Katakleis ) meaning 'Instrument for shutting' ,
κατακλείς > κτκλ > חִדֶּקֶל
The Septuagint word is Tigris which derives from the Hebrew תְּעָלָה ( TGLE ), a variant of κατακλείς meaning conduit which appears
in 2 Kings 20:20 - he made a pool, and a conduit (תְּעָלָה) and brought water into the city,
Euphrates as in ' Separated.
The waters appear in 2 Kings 2:22 that states ' Waters were healed' , the word Healed is rapha' , cognate with Greek Therapeia ( Healing)
but is often translated to mean 'Giants', as well as Nephilim (נָפִיל ) which derives from Greek νεφέλη (Nephele) meaning Fallen-Cloud because
the Rivers and streams in the Levant are sourced from the melting snow or winter torrents of Mount Hermon, Hebrew words for 'melting' are similar to words relating to burning and fire hence they are 'Separated from Fire'
Eden appears in the Book of Ezekiel and verse 31:16 tells use that Eden is in Lebanon and also Amos 1:6 since that is were Mount Hermon
is located for that is the Mountain of God ( Ezekiel 28:13) or Mount Elohim , also known as הֹר הָהָֽר ( Mountain of Mountains) which is the etymology of Ararat, but commonly known as Mount Hermon (Deuteronomy 3:8) cognate with Greek god Hermes, but from Ἑρμῆς meaning
'Boundary marker' see Numbers 34:8 ' Mount Hor shall point out your border' , It is also known as Mount Zalmon, see Judges 9:48 and Psalms 68:14 that reads 'White as Snow in Zalmon' , that is צַלְמוֹן dialectic form of Shelom thus also called Mount Shelom or הֹר שָׁלַם or יְרוּשָׁלַם ( Jerusalem)
also called Zion see Deuteronomy 4:48 'mount Sion, which is Hermon', Sion/Zion derive from χιών ( Snow), so Zion is related to the English word Snow too.
Numbers 12:10 (Snow cloud )
And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous
white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
Job 24:19
Drought and heat consume the snow waters
Isa 55:10
For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth,
