107. Verse 10 And a river was going out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it divided and became four heads.
'A river was going out of Eden 'means wisdom deriving from love, which is Eden. 'To water the garden' is to confer intelligence. 'From there to divide into four heads' describes intelligence coming through four rivers, as below.
Jeremiah 17:7-8
7
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
8
For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
