| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular noun (toponym); appears with prefixed conjunction וְ (“and”) or preposition בְ (“in”). |
| Rendering Rationale | This is a proper place name derived from the root meaning “delight” or “luxuriance.” As a proper noun (with prefixed conjunction וְ or preposition בְ in its surface forms), it is best rendered simply as “Eden,” preserving its identity while reflecting its root-derived sense of luxuriant delight. |
