ExplanationCommentary
Verse 10. A river, and so forth Moses gives many characteristics of Paradise, inviting us, as it were, to search for it; and still we cannot certainly discover where it is, or whether it exist at all at present, in state of cultivation. We must therefore endeavour to find the mystic Paradise, Heaven and the true Church; the road to which, though more obvious, is too frequently mistaken. See Saint Augustine Calmet. D. xiii. 21. Proverbs 3:18. Bible.
