Biblical Legend:
Eden is the name for the place created by God, as an abode for the first humans to live. It was mentioned in Genesis 2 and is the place where the first humans Adam and Eve lived.
Adam and Eve were expelled from Eden, because they disobeyed God’s commands and ate a forbidden apple.
In rabbinical literature the Garden of Eden (Hebrew: Gan Eden) is the paradise where the righteous live after their deaths.
