(7) Lastly, Professor Delitzsch finds two channels which answer to Pison
and Gihon.
(8) He proves these two to be the right ones by considering the
countries which they "compass:" and actually finds the one that he
supposes to be the "Gaihun," called, in the cuneiform clay tablets,
"Kahan or Gaghan-de."
It is really only in (7) and (8) that there is any room for doubt and
for further inquiry.
At any rate, the credibility of the narrative, and a belief in its
purpose, as a topographically exact statement of fact, not an allegory
or legend, is established.
