Berean Strong's Lexicon Pishon: Pishon Original Word: פִּישׁוֹן Part of Speech: Noun Transliteration: Pishon Pronunciation: pee-shone' Phonetic Spelling: (pee-shone') Definition: Pishon Meaning: Pishon Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the Hebrew "Pishon" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. Usage: Pishon is one of the four rivers mentioned in the Book of Genesis that flowed out of the Garden of Eden. It is described as encompassing the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. The river is noted for its association with the richness of the land it surrounds. Cultural and Historical Background: The Pishon River is part of the biblical narrative of the Garden of Eden, a place of perfection and divine creation. The mention of the river, along with the others, situates Eden in a real geographical context, though the exact location remains a subject of debate among scholars. The land of Havilah, associated with the Pishon, is noted for its resources, including gold, bdellium, and onyx stone, indicating a place of abundance and wealth.
