DAN 10:4–9, engwebp
⁴In the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel,
⁵I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a man clothed in linen, whose waist was adorned with pure gold of Uphaz.
⁶His body also was like beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches. His arms and his feet were like burnished bronze. The voice of his words was like the voice of a multitude.
⁷I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me didn’t see the vision, but a great quaking fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves.
⁸So I was left alone and saw this great vision. No strength remained in me; for my face grew deathly pale, and I retained no strength.
⁹Yet I heard the voice of his words. When I heard the voice of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.

  ¹⁰A river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became the source of four rivers.
  ¹¹The name of the first is Pishon: it flows through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
  ¹²and the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and onyx stone are also there.
  ¹³The name of the second river is Gihon. It is the same river that flows through the whole land of Cush.
  ¹⁴The name of the third river is Hiddekel. This is the one which flows in front of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.

Genesis 2:10 says that a river went out of Eden, “and from there it was parted, and became the source of four rivers”, and 2:14 names the third, “The name of the third river is Hiddekel. This is the one which flows in front of Assyria” (the Korean Revised Version: 앗수르 동편으로, east of Assyria); Daniel 10:4 names “the great river, which is Hiddekel”, by the side of which Daniel was, and does not say where it is. Both books give the same name in both editions (힛데겔 in the Korean, Hiddekel in WEB). This collection makes the place from Daniel 10:4, leaves Genesis 2:10–14 to its event, which has no entries for its rivers, relates the two passages by nothing but the name, and decides none of it; the place takes no evidence from Genesis.
