And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became four heads.
All Commentaries on Genesis 2:10 Go To Genesis 2
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
A river Moses gives many characteristics of Paradise, inviting us, as it were, to search for it; and still we cannot certainly discover where it is, or whether it exist at all at present, in a state of cultivation. We must therefore endeavour to find the mystic Paradise, Heaven and the true Church; the road to which, though more obvious, is too frequently mistaken. See St. Augustine, City of God xiii. 21.; Proverbs iii. 18. (Haydock)
