Contradictions and Paradoxes in Genesis 2:14

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Genesis 2:14 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Genesis 2:14. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Moses, in the Bible story, God talks about two rivers named Hiddekel and Euphrates that flow through important lands. These rivers help water the earth and make it a special place for people and animals.

Genesis 2:14: And the name of the third river [is] Hiddekel: that [is] it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river [is] Euphrates. [toward...: or, eastward to Assyria]

Paradox #1

Genesis 2:14 mentions the location of rivers that are part of the Garden of Eden. One possible contradiction is that the geographic locations of these rivers, particularly the Tigris and Euphrates, do not match with any known river system that could support the location of the Garden of Eden as described. This creates inconsistencies when trying to place Eden in a specific historical or geographical context.
