Gihon
Gihon is a river whose waters serve as a boundary in the division of lands. It is reached by extents turning south and west, and forms part of the limits described. The second portion for Ham comes forth beyond the Gihon towards the south to the right of the Garden. Borders draw near to the river Gihon and go along it.
