Pishon
Biblical river / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pishon (Hebrew: פִּישׁוֹן Pīšōn; Koine Greek: Φισών Phisṓn) is one of four rivers (along with Hiddekel (Tigris), Perath (Euphrates) and Gihon) mentioned in the Biblical Book of Genesis. In that passage, a source river flows out of Eden to water the Garden of Eden and from there divides into the four named rivers.[1] The Pishon is described as encircling "the entire land of Havilah where is gold; bdellium and onyx stone."[2]
