gold in Genesis 2
GOLD
This thing shows up in Genesis 2:11: “The name of the first is Pishon: it flows through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Genesis 2:11
“The name of the first is Pishon: it flows through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;”
