e.den is used as a personal name for men identified in two Chronicles passages.

Senses in use

  1. Personal name · dominant

    Both occurrences are tagged as a proper noun. In 2 Chronicles 29:12 the APB renders Eden as "Eden son of Joah" among Levites who arose; in 2 Chronicles 31:15 it lists Eden among men assisting with distributions in the cities of the priests.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the form as the name "Eden" in both verses, first with the identification "son of Joah" and then in a list of assistants. It confirms the name’s presence rather than supplying a lexical translation.
