4. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Eden
   delight. (1.) The garden in which our first parents dewlt (Gen.
   2:8-17). No geographical question has been so much discussed as
   that bearing on its site. It has been placed in Armenia, in the
   region west of the Caspian Sea, in Media, near Damascus, in
   Palestine, in Southern Arabia, and in Babylonia. The site must
   undoubtedly be sought for somewhere along the course of the
   great streams the Tigris and the Euphrates of Western Asia, in
   "the land of Shinar" or Babylonia. The region from about lat. 33
   degrees 30' to lat. 31 degrees, which is a very rich and fertile
   tract, has been by the most competent authorities agreed on as
   the probable site of Eden. "It is a region where streams abound,
   where they divide and re-unite, where alone in the Mesopotamian
   tract can be found the phenomenon of a single river parting into
   four arms, each of which is or has been a river of consequence."
   
     Among almost all nations there are traditions of the primitive
   innocence of our race in the garden of Eden. This was the
   "golden age" to which the Greeks looked back. Men then lived a
   "life free from care, and without labour and sorrow. Old age was
   unknown; the body never lost its vigour; existence was a
   perpetual feast without a taint of evil. The earth brought forth
   spontaneously all things that were good in profuse abundance."
   
     (2.) One of the markets whence the merchants of Tyre obtained
   richly embroidered stuffs (Ezek. 27:23); the same, probably, as
   that mentioned in 2 Kings 19:12, and Isa. 37:12, as the name of
   a region conquered by the Assyrians.
   
     (3.) Son of Joah, and one of the Levites who assisted in
   reforming the public worship of the sanctuary in the time of
   Hezekiah (2 Chr. 29:12).
