Genesis 4:8-8:5

Where was Eden?
The garden is in the vicinity of four rivers: Pishon, Gihon, Hiddekel (Tigris), and Euphrates. The Tigris and Euphrates rivers still exist today in Mesopotamia (Iraq). The exact location of the other two rivers is unknown today. Pishon was in the land of Havilah (2:11), which can be associated with Arabia and India. Gihon was in Cush (2:13) which was the area south of Egypt. Some scholars believe these were the Indus and Nile rivers.
