Language & etymology
What the name means.
Eden is associated with Hebrew delight or pleasure and names the garden in Genesis. It is a place name, not a divine title; alternative proposals about its origin also exist.
Gematria
The numeric value.
Ayin 70 + Dalet 4 + Nun 50 = 124
Numeric value is a traditional interpretive practice; it is not the word’s etymology and does not establish doctrine.
Paleo-Hebrew character
A devotional reflection.
These ancient Hebrew-script forms accompany a devotional meditation, not a historical translation or proof of etymology. Letter-picture associations are interpretive and do not establish doctrine.
