The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; — Genesis 2:11
The first river is named Pison. It surrounded the land of Havilah, a land known for gold.
This reminds us that the original creation was filled with beauty and value. Gold was not the product of man’s greed. Gold was created by God. It existed in God’s good world before sin entered.
The precious things of the earth were part of God’s created order.
