Pishon

thumb|The River Pishon in a 12th-century French mosaic The Pishon 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 (Genesis 2:10). The Pishon is described as encircling "the entire land of Havilah where is gold; bdellium and onyx stone" (Genesis 2:11). Quotes about It (the Law of Moses) overflows, like the Pishon, with wisdom, like the Tigris at the time of the firstfruits. Book of Sirach 24:25 NCB. Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it parted and became four riverheads. The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one which skirts the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. And the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and the onyx stone are there. Book of Genesis 2:10-12 NKJV. External links Category:Rivers in the Bible
