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
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Perhaps, however, those people who like to talk from their own wisdom do not concede again that these rivers are rivers or these waters really waters but propound some different interpretation to people ready to lend them their ears. Let us, however, I beg you, not be convinced by them but block our ears against them; let us instead place our credence in sacred Scripture and heed what is told us there.
