This article attempts to interpret the Garden of Eden as sacred space, comparing its features with those of other sacred places. This article disputes the common view that biblical descriptions of the Solomonic Temple were influenced by the Garden of Eden imagery; instead, it demonstrates that some features of Jerusalem and the Temple were incorporated into the Garden of Eden story. While many biblical scholars have hypothesized that the Garden of Eden story has Mesopotamian roots, this article describes how the author of the Eden narrative tries to present the Garden of Eden as an Israelite sacred place geographically, historically, and religiously.

伊甸园是以色列人的圣地

本文试图将伊甸园解释为神圣的空间，并将其特征与其他神圣场所的特征进行比较。这篇文章反驳了圣经中对所罗门圣殿的描述受到伊甸园意象影响的普遍看法；相反，它表明耶路撒冷和圣殿的一些特征被纳入伊甸园的故事。虽然许多圣经学者假设伊甸园的故事有美索不达米亚的根源，但本文描述了伊甸园叙事的作者如何试图将伊甸园从地理、历史和宗教上描述为以色列的圣地。
