SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:13

El nombre del segundo río es Gihón; éste es el que cerca toda la tierra de Etiopía.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 8-14 - The place fixed upon for Adam to dwell in, was not a palace, but garden. The better we take up with plain things, and the less we see things to gratify pride and luxury, the nearer we approach to innocency. Nature is content with a little, and that which is mos natural; grace with less; but lust craves every thing, and is conten with nothing. No delights can be satisfying to the soul, but thos which God himself has provided and appointed for it. Eden signifie delight and pleasure. Wherever it was, it had all desirabl conveniences, without any inconvenience, though no other house of garden on earth ever was so. It was adorned with every tree pleasant to the sight, and enriched with every tree that yielded fruit grateful to the taste and good for food. God, as a tender Father, desired not onl Adam's profit, but his pleasure; for there is pleasure with innocency nay there is true pleasure only in innocency. When Providence puts u in a place of plenty and pleasure, we ought to serve God with gladnes of heart in the good things he gives us. Eden had two trees peculiar to itself. 1. There was the tree of life in the midst of the garden. O this man might eat and live. Christ is now to us the Tree of life, R 2:7; 22:2; and the Bread of life, Joh 6:48, 51. 2. There was the tre of the knowledge of good and evil, so called because there was positive revelation of the will of God about this tree, so that by it man might know moral good and evil. What is good? It is good not to ea of this tree. What is evil? It is evil to eat of this tree. In thes two trees God set before Adam good and evil, the blessing and the curse.
