Eden is the land of paradise, and God had already planted it on the third day. Moses explains this by saying, “The Lord caused every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food to sprout forth from the earth.” And to show that he was talking about paradise, he added, “And the tree of life was in the midst of paradise, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.” .
