A secert place known only by few

Eden, in the Bible, the first home of mankind. The Garden of Eden was the home of Adam and Eve before their fall. The name in Hebrew means "pleasure" or "delight," and may have been derived from the Babylonian edinu, which meant "plain."
According to Generis(chapter 2 and 3), God planted Eden with all kinds of trees, and put Adam and Eve into this earthly paradise to till it. They were told that they might eat any fruit except that of "the tree of knowledge of good and evil." After they ate this forbidden fruit they were driven away from Eden.

The Genesis story locates the Garden of Eden "eastward." Eden was watered by a river that divided into four streams: Pison, Gihon, Hiddekel, and Euphrates. The Euphrates is the chief river of Babylonia. The Hiddekel is identified in Daniel 10:4 with the Tigris, also in Babylonia. Eden is believed by many to have been in Babylonia (modern Iraq), often called a cradle of civilization.
