Gen 11:31, Gen 12:14, Gen 28:10, Gen 29:4; Act 7:2 Eden: It is probable that this Eden is the country near Diarbekir, on the Tigris, called Madon, according to Asseman. Gen 2:8; Eze 27:23, Eze 28:13; Amo 1:5 Telassar: Telassar is probably the same as Ellasar, Gen 14:1, as the Jerusalem Targum reads; for both of which the Syriac has Dolassar; and perhaps, as Doederlein supposes, the same as Sharra, a city of Mesopotamia, half a mile from the Euphrates.
