Gihon

Gihon is the name of the second river mentioned in the second chapter of the biblical Book of Genesis. The Gihon is mentioned as one of four rivers (along with the Tigris, Euphrates, and Pishon) issuing out of the Garden of Eden that branched from a single river within the garden. The name (Hebrew Giħôn גיחון) may be interpreted as "bursting forth, gushing". First-century Jewish historian Josephus associated the Gihon river with the Nile. Juris Zarins identified the Gihon with the Karun River in Iran and Kush with the land of the Kassites.
