Strong's Lexicon eden: Delight, Pleasure Original Word: עֵדֶן Word Origin: Derived from the root עָדַן (adan), meaning "to luxuriate" or "to delight oneself." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of Eden is παράδεισος (paradeisos), Strong's Greek #3857, which means "paradise" or "garden." Usage: The Hebrew word "eden" primarily denotes a state of delight or pleasure. It is most famously associated with the Garden of Eden, a place of perfect harmony and communion with God, where the first humans, Adam and Eve, lived before the Fall. The term conveys a sense of bliss and abundance, often used to describe an ideal state of existence. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, gardens were symbols of paradise and divine blessing. The Garden of Eden, as described in Genesis, represents the ideal environment created by God for humanity, characterized by beauty, fertility, and the presence of God. The concept of Eden has influenced Jewish, Christian, and Islamic thought, symbolizing the original state of human innocence and the ultimate goal of restoration and redemption.
