Does anyone have any thoughts on the location of Nod, or know of any references in the Bible, otherwise than the above, that refers to a possible location of Nod. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zekesmom2 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 According to the two study Bible I consulted, Nod means "wandering." It would appear that perhaps Cain was a nomad, wandering in the land to the east of Eden. Eden is generally thought of as the land between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, the Fertile Crescent.

But I don't reckon Eden was contained within the borders of the Tigris and Euphrates though, however i'll look at that. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see where the Tigris and Euphrates flow out of the Red Sea? Well, there are 2 old dried up river beds going to the east and west in that area. It is speculated that Eden was somewhere around there because the book of Genesis mentions the tigris, Euphrates and other rivers flowing out of eden., so Nod would be somewhere to the east if that's where Eden was. But as said above, earth was changed after the flood, so we really won't know the exact location, especially this side of heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
