Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Of foreign originCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entry for חִדֶּקֶל (Chiddekel) as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible. However, the Greek Septuagint translates the name as Τίγρης (Tigris), which is the Greek name for the river. Usage: The term חִדֶּקֶל (Chiddekel) is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the Tigris River. It appears in the context of the description of the rivers flowing from Eden. Context: The Chiddekel, or Tigris River, is one of the four rivers mentioned in the Book of Genesis as flowing out of the Garden of Eden. In Genesis 2:14, the Chiddekel is described as the third river, which "flows east of Assyria." The Tigris is a major river in the Middle East, running through modern-day Turkey, Syria, and Iraq. It is historically significant as it has been a vital water source for ancient civilizations, including the Assyrians and Babylonians. The river's mention in the Genesis narrative highlights its importance in the ancient Near Eastern geography and its role in the early biblical world. The Chiddekel is also referenced in the Book of Daniel (Daniel 10:4), where the prophet Daniel receives a vision while standing on its banks. This river, along with the Euphrates, forms the two great rivers of Mesopotamia, often referred to as the cradle of civilization.
