“The name of the first [river] is Pishon. It surrounds the entire land of Chavilah, where there is gold. And the gold of that land is good.” (Gen. 2:11–12)
“Where there is gold” – this refers to the words of Torah,
which are more desirable than much fine gold.
“And the gold of that land is good” – this teaches that
there is no Torah like the Torah of the Land of Israel.1
(Bereishit Rabbah 16:4)
