Eden was the garden where God placed the first humans, watered by a river that divided into four branches including the Tigris and Euphrates, a location most often placed somewhere in the fertile lowlands of ancient Mesopotamia though its exact site cannot be fixed. The same word also denotes a trading region supplying richly worked cloth to Tyre's merchants, likely the same district referred to elsewhere as a territory conquered by Assyria, and separately belongs to a Levite who helped reform temple worship under Hezekiah.
