In Hebrew, it means "joy, gladness." According to Genesis 2:8 and following, it is the paradise that Yahweh created for the first humans, Adam and Eve, and is also called the "Kingdom of God" (Ezekiel) or the "Garden of Yahweh" (Isaiah). Its geographical location is said to be east of Palestine (Genesis 2:8) or the source of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers (Genesis 2:10-14), but the exact location is unknown.
