Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for פִישׁוֹן (Pishon) as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text of the Old Testament and does not appear in the Greek New Testament.

Usage: The term פִישׁוֹן (Pishon) is used in the context of describing one of the rivers that flowed out of Eden to water the garden, as mentioned in the Book of Genesis.

Context: Pishon is one of the four rivers described in Genesis 2:10-14, which flowed from the Garden of Eden. The passage states: "A river watering the garden flowed out from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. The name of the first is Pishon; it winds through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold." (Genesis 2:10-11, BSB). The exact location and identification of the Pishon River have been subjects of debate and speculation among scholars and theologians. Some suggest it could be a river that existed in the ancient Near East, while others propose it may symbolize a spiritual or allegorical concept. The land of Havilah, associated with Pishon, is noted for its resources, including gold, bdellium, and onyx stone, indicating a region of wealth and abundance. The Pishon River, along with the other rivers of Eden, underscores the theme of divine provision and the richness of God's creation.
