Ezekiel 47:10
And it will be [a place] beside which fishermen will stand from Ein-Gedi to Ein-Eglayim



abarim-publications.com/Meaning/Enegla…
sefaria.org/Ezekiel.47.10?…
Ein-Eglayim



From (1) the noun עין ('ayin), which means both eye and fountain, and (2) the noun עגל ('egel), calf, from verb עגל ('agal), to go in circles.abarim-publications.com/Meaning/Enegla…
I thought it to be the Omega from the saying "I am the Alpha and the Omega"

alluded to in John 21:12
μεστὸν ἰχθύων μεγάλων ἑκατὸν πεντήκοντα τριῶν

since Omega = Hebrew "ayin gadol" and 153 is gematria of "eglayim"
and more "egel" is cognate to "igul"= circle

(bible wheel being out of air)threadreaderapp.com/thread/7205079…
were there two trees in the midst of the garden or just one?

Genesis 2:9 has the tree of life in the midst of the garden and the tree of knowledge

not: the tree of life and the tree of knowledlge in the midst of the garden

chabad.org/library/bible_…
v.17 said that he should not eat of the tree of knowledge

while Genesis 3: 3 says that he should not eat of the tree in the midst of the garden
