Then when guidance comes to you from Me, whoever follows it, there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve. (2:38) [54] In the Talmud and the Jewish Kabbalah, [45] the scholars agree that there are two types of spiritual places called "Garden in Eden". The first is rather terrestrial, of abundant fertility and luxuriant vegetation, known as the "lower Gan Eden" ( gan meaning garden). The second is envisioned as being celestial, the habitation of righteous, Jewish and non-Jewish, immortal souls, known as the "higher Gan Eden". The rabbis differentiate between Gan and Eden. Adam is said to have dwelt only in the Gan, whereas Eden is said never to be witnessed by any mortal eye. [45]

And so, the very same man wishes to give the next generation a legacy. A children’s Bible free from racial prejudice that reverses histories mistakes and guides our future towards social harmony. The Children of God Storybook Bible includes everyone’s favourite Bible stories including Adam and Even, Noah’s Ark and the birth of Jesus and also some surprising and wonderful less well known stories. Archbishop Tutu’s loving and embracing re-telling of the classic stories brings them to life as never before. Using NIV text for Bible quotations, the stories provide an engaging opportunity for adults to share the Bible with children – reading to them at first, and gradually helping children to read and discover the Bible for themselves. Children that learn to read early do better, and children that share learning with their parents or carers do best of all. The Children of God Story Book Bible offers parents or carers and children a way to grow together in literacy and in the Word. Mentions of Eden are also made in the Bible elsewhere in Genesis, [10] in Isaiah 51:3, [11] Ezekiel 36:35, [12] and Joel 2:3; [13] Zechariah 14 and Ezekiel 47 use paradisical imagery without naming Eden. [14] The Lord God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden; and there He placed the man whom He had formed. Out of the ground the Lord God caused to grow every tree that is pleasing to the sight and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four rivers. read more.Tigchelaar, Eibert J. C. (1999).

The term jannāt ʿadni ("Gardens of Eden" or "Gardens of Perpetual Residence") is used in the Quran for the destination of the righteous. There are several mentions of "the Garden" in the Quran, [49] while the Garden of Eden, without the word ʿadn, [50] is commonly the fourth layer of the Islamic heaven and not necessarily thought as the dwelling place of Adam. [51] The Quran refers frequently over various Surah about the first abode of Adam and Hawwa (Eve), including surat Sad, which features 18 verses on the subject (38:71–88), surat al-Baqara, surat al-A'raf, and surat al-Hijr although sometimes without mentioning the location. The narrative mainly surrounds the resulting expulsion of Hawwa and Adam after they were tempted by Iblis (Satan). Despite the biblical account, the Quran mentions only one tree in Eden, the tree of immortality, from which God specifically forbade Adam and Eve. Some exegesis added an account, about Satan, disguised as a serpent to enter the Garden, repeatedly told Adam to eat from the tree, and eventually both Adam and Eve did so, resulting in disobeying God. [52] These stories are also featured in the hadith collections, including al-Tabari. [53] Quranic scripture of story Levenson, Jon D. (2004). "Genesis: Introduction and Annotations".
