Judaism ForumEdens Location from JubileesOn the other hand was the location of the tree of knowledge of good and evil located in the area that is modern Iraq where Ur was located? Scripture tells us God planted the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil toward the east in Eden, and that Adam and Eve were expelled to the east of the garden. This would put Adam and Eve in the area archaeologists suggest is the cradle of life. Now God instructed Abraham to leave Ur and go to a place He would show him. So we can speculate God removed Abraham from the place where the knowledge of good and evil originated to establish a new Eden where God could plant a new tree of life, the leaves of which are for the healing of nations (Revelation 22:2). The pomegranate is used to decorate the High Priests robes, the capitols of the bronze pillars in the Temple, is used for making wine, is red in color and can be symbolic of royalty as well as spiritual authority, and was used by the Hebrews spies to show the abundance of the land when they spied out Canaan. The tamarisk is mentioned only 3 times in Scripture, once when Abraham plants a tamarisk and the other two times in relation to Saul. The tamarisk tree is a water hog and is detrimental to other trees and vegetation and although it is a cedar it does not grow as tall as the cedars of Lebanon, which is another type of cedar. We can develop lots of theories and speculations concerning Biblical imagary but do these theories and speculations benefit us as we strive to live Godly lives? |
