What is the meaning of Pishon mentioned in the Holy Bible?

Answer 1

The Pishon (Pison) River is recorded in Genesis 2:11, as one of the four rivers emanating from the Garden of Eden: "The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. The second River was Gihon (Nile) that ran through Ethiopia. The third was Hiddekel (Tigris) which ran towards Assyria. The fourth was the Euphrates, as well known today.

The Pishon River is "most probably identified with the Karun River which comes down from the mountains of Media and formerly emptied into the Persian Gulf." International Standard Bible Encyclopedia.

Whereas we are familiar with the Nile, Tigris and Euphrated Rivers today, there is no reason to consider the Pishon to have not existed. All these rivers are undoubtedly changed somewhat from the days of Eden, due to the Genesis Flood.

Answer 2

The Pishon is one of the four mythical rivers that flowed through the Garden of Eden, in the Book of Genesis. From the Hebrew roots, it would seem to be a river that originates from a spring or forms a delta as it flows into the sea.
