| <p> '''''ē´d''''' ''''''n''''' ( בּני עדן , < i> '''''benē ‛edhen''''' </ i> ): In 2 Kings 19:12; Isaiah 37:12 "the children of Eden that were in Telassar" are mentioned in connection with "Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph" as having been destroyed by the [ [Assyrians]] who were before the time of Sennacherib. The expression, "the children of Eden that were in Telassar," undoubtedly referred to a tribe which inhabited a region of which [[Telassar]] was the center. Telassar means "the hill of Asshur" and, according to Schrader, it was a name that might have been given to any place where a temple had been built to Asshur. Inasmuch as Gozan, and Haran, and [[Rezeph]] were in [[Mesopotamia]] it would seem probable that "the children of Eden that were in Telassar" belonged to the same locality. The "children of Eden" is quite probably to be identified with the < i> '''''Bı̂t ‛Adini''''' </ i> of the inscriptions and this referred to a district on the middle Euphrates. According to the inscriptions Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and <i> '''''Bı̂t ‛Adini''''' </i> were destroyed by Sennacherib's forefathers, and this is in accord with the account in 2 Kings and Isaiah. </p> <p> The "Eden" of Ezekiel 27:23 is usually taken as the name of a place in Mesopotamia with which Tyre had commercial relations, and probably belongs to the region of "the chilrden of Eden," discussed above. </p> < p> Some writers think the " Beth-eden" of Am 15 the Revised Version, margin (the American Standard Revised Version " <i> Aven </ i> ") is to be identified with the <i> '''''Bı̂t ‛Adini''''' </ i> of the inscriptions and hence, with "the children of Eden ," but this is doubtful. This was perhaps in [[Syria] ] in the neighborhood of Damascus. </ p> | | == Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible <ref name="term_50809" /> == |
