Four rivers of Paradise in the 12th century manuscript
Rivers of Paradise,[1]the four rivers of Paradise,[2] or "the rivers of[3]/flowing from[4] Eden" are the four rivers described in Genesis 2:10–14,[5] where an unnamed stream flowing out of the Garden of Eden splits into four branches: Pishon, Gihon, Hiddekel (Tigris), and Phrath (Euphrates). These four rivers form a feature of the Garden that is popular in the Abrahamic religions.[6]
