<P> Traditionally, scholars favored deriving the name "Eden" from the Akkadian edinnu, derived from a Sumerian word edin meaning "plain" or "steppe". Chaim Cohen, however, writes that Eden is more closely related to an Aramaic root word meaning "fruitful, well - watered ." Another interpretation associates the name "Eden" with a Hebrew word for "pleasure"; thus the Douay - Rheims Bible in Genesis 2: 8 has the wording "And the Lord God had planted a paradise of pleasure" (rather than "a garden in Eden"). The Hebrew term is translated "pleasure" in Sarah's secret saying in Genesis 18: 12 . </P> <P> Like the records of the great flood, the creation story and the account of the confusion of languages, the story of Eden echoes the Mesopotamian myth of a king, as a primordial man, who is placed in a divine garden to guard the Tree of Life . The Hebrew Bible depicts Adam and Eve as walking around the Garden of Eden naked due to their innocence . Eden and its rivers may signify the real Jerusalem, the Temple of Solomon, or the Promised Land . It may also represent the divine garden on Zion, and the mountain of God, which was also Jerusalem . The imagery of the Garden, with its serpent and cherubim, has been compared to the images of the Solomonic Temple with its copper serpent (the nehushtan) and guardian cherubs . </P> <P> According to the Bible, the location of Eden is described in the Book of Genesis, chapter 2, verses 10--14 as the source of four tributaries . However, the Garden of Eden is considered to be mythological by most scholars . Among those that consider it to have been real there have been various suggestions for its location: for example, at the head of the Persian Gulf, in southern Mesopotamia (now Iraq) where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers run into the sea; and in the Armenian Highlands or Armenian Plateau, among other proposed locations . </P> <P> The second part of the Genesis creation narrative, Genesis, opens with Adonai Elohim (the LORD God, lit . YHWH Elohim, see Names of God in Judaism) creating the first man (Adam), whom he placed in a garden that he planted "eastward in Eden". </P>
